Final Destination Franchise Marks 25 Years with Upcoming Sixth Film

The horror series, known for its inventive death sequences and depiction of fate, prepares for the release of 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' in May.

The Final Destination franchise, launched in 2000, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a new installment titled 'Final Destination: Bloodlines,' set to release on May 16, 2025.
The series is renowned for its unique horror premise, where death itself acts as the unseen, inevitable antagonist, targeting survivors of freak accidents in gruesome and elaborate ways.
The upcoming film will feature the final on-screen appearance of Tony Todd, who portrayed the enigmatic funeral director William Bludworth throughout the series.
Creator Jeffrey Reddick drew inspiration for the original film from a real-life story about a woman who avoided a plane crash due to a premonition, and the franchise has since become a cultural touchstone for its portrayal of bizarre and fatal chain reactions.
A rise in real-life freak accidents, as reported by safety organizations, has made the franchise's themes of unpredictability and mortality feel more relevant and unsettling than ever.
