Final Destination: Bloodlines News: Cast, Plot and More Cinemax
In the early 2000s, amid the realization that fears of Y2K and other ongoing millennial unrest were far from realized, the first “Final Destination” film arrived in theaters. Since then we have produced four more films, some decent and some not, usually three years apart. In 2011, the fifth film in the franchise was released, and it has been silent ever since. The sixth film has been in the works for several years, but like a complicated ride on a faulty or crappy navigation system, we haven’t seen the final destination in sight.
The good news is that horror fans’ long wait is almost over. “Final Destination 6”, called “Final Destination: Bloodlines”, is in an advanced stage of work. It should arrive on screens around the world sometime in 2025, with a few surprises to come.
The following article will cover everything about the long-awaited film, probably showing us countless new accidents and stupid ways to die.
Final Destination 6: The movie that got it all wrong
The truth is that the sixth film in the “Final Destination” franchise has been in the works for several years, which is far from surprising given that most of the films have performed quite impressively at the box office.
Back in 2011, before the franchise’s fifth film was even released, horror legend Tony Todd (“Candyman”) gave us the first clue. Todd, who in three films in the franchise played William Bludworth (a funeral home director who is an expert on death and how to cheat it), announced that if “Final Destination 5” was successful at the box office, they would produce two additional films. Although the film enjoyed some success and was the second highest-grossing franchise, grossing approximately $158 million worldwide, this did not happen. Some even begin wonder will there be a final destination 6, after all.
In 2019, New Line Cinema announced that it was working on a new film in the franchise. Screenwriters Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, who are among others responsible for the scripts of several films “Saw”, “The Collector”, “Piranha 3DD,“ and others, wrote the initial screenplay, calling it a “reimagining“ of the franchise.
Craig Perry, one of the franchise’s producers, said in March 2020 that it would be difficult to call the planned film a “reboot”.“ as it would be certainly be a “Final Destination” movie.“ The problem is that March 2020 is also that of the global Covid-19 epidemic. This almost completely stopped work on the film, which had begun a few months earlier.
Fast forward to October 2021, when we heard from producer and writer Lori Evans Taylor (“Bed Rest“ with Melissa Barrera) will write the screenplay. Later, screenwriter Guy Busick – who worked with duo Matt Bettinelli Olpin and Tyler Gillett on “Ready or Not”“ (2019), “Scream 5“ (2022), “Scream 6“ (2023) and “Abigail“ (2024) – Joins Evans Taylor in directing the screenplay. By then, the promises had already started to materialize spread that the film would deviate a bit from the franchise’s familiar formulas.
From reality TV shows to Zoom: we finally have directors
The process of choosing the director was far from routine. In September of the same year, “New Line Cinema“ held Zoom conversations with potential candidates. Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein beat out about 200 other applicants and got the job.
Lipovsky and Stein participated in the strange reality show “Sur le Lot,“ produced by Fox or even Steven Spielberg, who was looking for a next director. Stein came third and Lipovsky fifth out of around 12,000 filmmakers in a series that received widespread criticism and was not particularly successful.
According to Reports, What Tipped the Scales of ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’“ in the duo’s favor is that during that Zoom call with the producers, the two “directed“ an accident scene, mixing pre-filmed sections and special effects. The folks at New Line Cinema“ He really liked the joke, which demonstrated the talent and passion of the directors for the franchise, and decided to use their services.
The film was scheduled to shoot in Vancouver, British Columbia from late July to mid-October 2023. But things changed with a production in which so much went wrong here. In July of the same year, the television and radio artists’ strike broke out, in part due to the devaluation of their apparent status, changes in the industry following streaming, and even the rise of artificial intelligence. Filming took place a few months later, between March and May 2024.
Todd, Bassinger and others: the cast of Final Destination: Bloodlines
In September 2023, “New Line Cinema“ announced that Tony Todd would return to play William Bludworth in the sixth film, which would also explore the character’s history. Along with this, we received some new names, some quite promising.
Brec Bassinger (despite his name, there is no family connection to former model and actress Kim Basinger) got the lead role. Bassinger played the lead role in Nickelodeon “Bella and the bulldogs,“ like “Stargirl“ in the CW series of the same name, and also in the mediocre survival thriller “47 Meters 2“ we wrote about him not long ago
Other names in the cast of “Final Destination 6” are Teo Briones (TV series “Chucky”), Kaitlyn Santa Juana (“The Flash”)“ and the disappointing “The Friendship Game“ with Peyton List), Richard Harmon (“I Still See You“, “Grave Encounters 2”), and others.
Final Destination 6
At the center of the plot will be Stephanie (Bassinger), an 18-year-old girl about to leave home to go to college. Stéphanie is attacked by terrible nightmares, in the center of which she dies in a falling accident (as can be deduced from the official poster of the film). She discovers that her nightmares were appearing at her grandmother, who managed to avoid death decades ago – until she recently died at an old age.
Stephanie learns, as befits a Final Destination movie, that Death stalked the survivors of this averted disaster until it vanquished them, but now haunts their children as well. Stephanie, her family members, her friends, and probably a few stupid, beautiful young people who are here to be stupid and add to the body count must figure out what to do to stop the chain of death before it’s too late. At first glance, this plot combines the Final Destination films with “A Nightmare on Elm Street,“ and it can be cool.
Is There a Final Destination: Bloodlines Trailer?
If you do a quick search on YouTube, you can see many versions of “trailers”.“ and “trailers“ for the film. As far as we know, these are fake versions made by fans or just bored people, often including clips from other films.

Final Destination 6 release date
So when will “Final Destination 6”“ to go out? Warner Bros., the distribution company, announced that the film will hit screens in 2025, but we still don’t know an exact release date or where to watch “Final Destination 6.”

The sixth film will be released in theaters, including I-Max – always attractive for horror films. “2025 will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of the first installment of the franchise,” Perry wrote on social media. “Honoring the occasion with another global theatrical release (in IMAX, no less) is a rare and wonderful experience. thing. I am completely grateful for this opportunity and humbly appreciate the sublimely talented team who worked so hard to bring this to life. See you next year! “.
