Final Destination 6 is happening, so here’s what we know so far, from any release date updates to plot speculation, cast rumors, and more.
The Final Destination horror franchise was first unleashed in 2000, with a group of high school students narrowly escaping death on a plane to Paris after one of them has a premonition. Death isn’t pleased with this, and begins recouping his victims.
A group of young people go somewhere, one has a vision, they cheat death, and they all start dying in horrible, Rube Goldbergian ways: this is the format that led to four sequels and more than $650 million at the box office.
Final Destination 6 is officially in the works, so here’s what we know about the long-awaited installment, including its release date, whether there’s a trailer, cast, plot, and other details.
Final Destination 6 release date
Final Destination 6 will be released on May 16, 2025.
After much anticipation, the news was announced in January 2025, with confirmation that the title would be Final Destination: Bloodlines. That’s just in time for the 25th anniversary of the franchise.

At the time the release year was announced, it was also revealed that Final Destination 6 would have an IMAX theatrical run.
The sixth film has been in the works since 2019. However, it’s endured stop-start development as a result of global restrictions and different writers being brought in, and the writers’ strike has stalled any work on it.
Is there a trailer?
No, there’s no Final Destination 6 trailer at the time of writing.
But with the May release date coming up soon, we could expect a trailer in the coming months!
Who’s in the Final Destination 6 cast?

However, two stars from the original movies have expressed interest in returning. Devon Sawa, who played Alex in the original movie, told MovieWeb: “If you were in Vegas right now laying some big money down, I wouldn’t put it on me coming back, but of course.
“I’ve watched every one of those movies since they’ve come out. But I think the ship has sailed. I’m getting a little older. I think they’re gonna be going with a new, young cast, but yeah man. I would do it. I would do it in a heartbeat.”
One big question mark that remains revolves around Tony Todd as William Bludworth. The horror icon died in November 2024, and it was reported that he had signed on to appear in the new movie. However, it’s unclear if this actually came to pass.
The sequel will be directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, who also directed 2018’s Freaks. Producer Craig Perry has also returned, working alongside Sheila Hanahan Taylor and Jon Watts – yes, the same Jon Watts who directed Spider-Man: No Way Home.
What will Final Destination 6 be about?
No official plot details for Final Destination 6 have been shared yet, but producer Craig Perry shared details of an early idea involving first responders.
“We’re toying with having it take place in the world of first responders: EMTs, firemen, and police,” he said [via Digital Spy]
“These people deal with death on the front lines every day and make choices that can cause people to live or die. We rely on their good judgment, expertise, and calm demeanor.
“So why not put those people in the nightmare situation where every choice can bring about life and death – but now for themselves? We’re thinking that world might be an interesting way into a Final Destination movie, and one which can also generate unique set pieces in a very credible way.”
Franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick has said that the sixth installment will be “a true Final Destination movie, but it doesn’t follow that kind of formula that we’ve kind of established,” via Hidden Remote.
It’s unclear whether this will serve as the basis for Final Destination 6, or if it will have a different set-up.
