Final Destination 6, the latest installment in the popular horror movie series, is currently in production with a major update from producer Craig Perry. The franchise, which first began in 2000, has been a fan favorite for many years. After a long hiatus following the release of the fifth movie in 2011, fans were thrilled to hear that a sixth movie was in the works. Directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein are set to helm the new film, which will continue the franchise's tradition of unexpected and gruesome deaths.
Perry took to social media to announce that filming for Final Destination 6 has officially started. The upcoming sequel has been titled Final Destination: Bloodlines, as confirmed in Perry's post. Fans are eagerly anticipating the new installment and are excited to see what terrifying twists and turns await them in the latest chapter of the Final Destination series.
Will Final Destination 6 Be The Last One?
"After a long, hard slog through the pandemic and the strikes, Day One is finally in the can," shares Perry. "2025 will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of the first installment in the franchise. To honor the occasion with another worldwide theatrical release (in IMAX, no less) is a rare and wonderful thing. See you next year! PS: I know, I know — Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. But this is the title we’ve had for three years, and we’re keeping it… for now."

There's no official confirmation yet if Final Destination 6 will be the final movie. However, a recent update hints that it might mark a new beginning for the franchise. Producer Rachel O'Toole mentioned in an interview with The Direct that the upcoming film is not a sequel, but a "reboot". This implies that characters from previous Final Destination movies may not be part of the new film.
A new group of characters may be introduced along with some changes to the franchise to attract new viewers. The franchise has been around for almost 25 years, and the next movie might explain the concept of characters escaping death only to meet their demise in unique ways to those who are new to it. Whether or not Final Destination 7 will be made depends on how successful the upcoming movie is at the box office.
Title | Production Budget | Domestic Box Office | Worldwide Box Office |
---|---|---|---|
Final Destination | $23 million | $53.3 million | $112 million |
Final Destination 2 | $26 million | $46.9 million | $90.4 |
Final Destination 3 | $25 million | $54 million | $112.8 million |
The Final Destination | $40 million | $66.5 million | $187.4 million |
Final Destination 5 | $40 million | $42.6 million | $155 million |
All five Final Destination movies have been successful at the box office, with a noticeable dip in domestic earnings for the fifth movie. The upcoming release of Final Destination 6 will show if there is still a demand from audiences for the franchise. The new installment is currently in production, so we can expect more details about the project, including the cast, to be revealed soon.
Editor's P/S:
As a fan of the Final Destination franchise, I am thrilled to hear that a sixth installment is underway. The films have consistently delivered suspenseful and gruesome thrills, and I am eager to see what the latest chapter has in store. The title "Bloodlines" hints at a possible new direction for the series, and I am curious to learn more about the characters and their connection to the deadly events that unfold.
The news that the upcoming film may be a reboot is both intriguing and concerning. While I appreciate the potential for fresh ideas and characters, I also hope that the filmmakers will retain the core elements that have made the franchise so successful. Regardless of whether or not Final Destination 6 is the last in the series, I am excited to see what the future holds for this iconic horror franchise.
