10 Status Updates On Iconic Horror Movie Franchises

10. Final Destination

Last Film Entry: Final Destination 5 (2011)

What's Going On? One could be forgiven for thinking that the Final Destination franchise had gone full circle and had nothing else to offer. After all, 2011's Final Destination 5 ended up cheekily serving as a prequel affair whose final moments dovetailed into the opening scene of the airplane explosion of the 2000 film that started the series.

Here we are, though, ten years after that fifth picture, with a Final Destination 6 pegged for a release at some point in 2022.

A director has yet to be announced for this sixth movie, although Warner Bros. and New Line have currently got the Saw franchise's Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan working on a script for the film. Producer Craig Perry has suggested that Final Destination 6 will centre on a group of EMTs, police officers and firefighters who find themselves stalked by the Grim Reaper.

Initially described as a "reimagining" of the property, it's since been clarified that Final Destination 6 will exist within the same continuity as its five predecessors.
