Many may have completely forgotten that a sixth Final Destination is on the way later this year, with the film stuck spinning its wheels for several years, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Titled Final Destination 6: Bloodlines, this next franchise entry comes from Freaks directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein; a duo who landed the gig after winning over producers with an elaborate decapitation hoax during a Zoom call.

A story that initially came from the mind of Jon Watts - as in, the director of the MCU's Spider-Man movies - Bloodlines will find a group of EMTs and first responders in the clutches of the Grim Reaper. While the full cast list has yet to be announced, genre fave Tony Todd will be back as William Bludworth, and it's believed that some of Bludworth's murky backstory will be fleshed out in this sixth FD offering.

Whilst Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema have yet to confirm a set release date for Final Destination: Bloodlines, the hope is that the film will hit theatres worldwide towards the end of 2024.
