The Final Destination movie franchise is making a comeback with the announcement of Final Destination 6 being greenlit. However, the overall storyline has been changed from the original reports.
The sight of a truck on the highway transporting wooden logs strikes fear in the hearts of many millennials, thanks to the trauma inflicted by Final Destination. The horrifying moment of a loose log smashing through a car windshield is etched in the memory of many, leaving a bloody mess in its wake.
The Final Destination horror franchise successfully made Death and Fate the central antagonists, as groups of teenagers attempted to cheat Death through seemingly accidental or unlucky events. After the fifth movie premiered in 2011, it was announced that the franchise would make a return. Originally, Final Destination 6 was planned to break free from the franchise's traditional storyline and focus on First Responders, but plans have since changed.
What will Final Destination 6 be about?
According to unconfirmed leaked details, Final Destination 6 will focus on a character who saved people during a tower collapse and has been Death’s target for years.
The announcement of the sixth installment sparked curiosity by revealing a departure from the usual focus on teenagers trying to survive. It was a major shift for the franchise. According to Bloody Disgusting, Tony Todd was set to return as William Bludworth in a movie that would center on First Responders instead. However, recent reports indicate that the movie has reverted back to the familiar storyline and undergone a title change.
Critical Overlord on X/Twitter announced that "FINAL DESTINATION 6" will have a new storyline focusing on the family of Esther, a woman who saved several people from a tower collapse 50 years ago. This time, Death is targeting her family.
According to JoBlo, an inside source has revealed that the movie will be titled Final Destination: Bloodlines, breaking free from the franchise’s usual numeric system for good reasons.
The synopsis of the movie describes 18-year-old Stefani, who discovers that her recurring nightmares about a tower accident in the 1960s are actually premonitions from her grandmother's past. As Stefani learns more about her family's history of battling Death, she realizes that their bloodline is in danger unless she can find a way to stop it.
Character descriptions for Final Destination 6 follow the franchise's typical formula, featuring a female lead, her younger brother, a football jock, and a pierced outcast all attempting to outsmart Death.

I'm particularly intrigued by the leaked storyline, which suggests that the movie will focus on a character who saved people during a tower collapse and has been Death's target for years. This is a departure from the usual formula of teenagers trying to survive, and I think it could make for a really interesting and suspenseful story.
I'm also glad to hear that Tony Todd will be returning as William Bludworth. He's been a part of the franchise since the beginning, and his presence adds a sense of continuity and familiarity. Overall, I'm very optimistic about Final Destination 6 and can't wait to see it when it comes out.
