The next generation faces death's legacy

When Is Final Destination: Bloodlines coming out? Cast, trailer and more

After more than a decade of silence, the Final Destination franchise is making its long-anticipated return with Final Destination: Bloodlines, the sixth installment in the iconic horror saga. Set to hit U.S. theaters on May 16, the new film revives the series' infamous formula: narrowly escaping death only to be hunted down by it again.

Produced by New Line Cinema and distributed by Warner Bros., Bloodlines brings a fresh cast, emotionally driven storytelling, and inventive death sequences that fans of the franchise expect-but with a deeper look into how the past may shape the present. This marks the franchise's return after a 14-year hiatus, and it promises to deliver the same lethal suspense that made the originals cult classics.

The next generation faces death's legacy

The story follows Stefani Reyes, portrayed by Kaitlyn Santa Juana, a college student who begins to suffer from intense, recurring nightmares about a skyscraper collapse that occurred in 1968. These aren't just dreams-they're connected to a real tragedy that her grandmother, Iris, survived.

As Stefani uncovers more about the incident, she begins to suspect that her family has been cursed by death itself. This time, it's not just about cheating fate-it's about rewriting a deadly lineage.

ing Santa Juana is Teo Briones as her younger brother Charlie Reyes, Richard Harmon as the rebellious tattoo artist Erik Campbell, and Owen Patrick Joyner as cousin Bobby Campbell. Anna Lore plays Julia Campbell, while Rya Kihlstedt takes on the role of Darlene Campbell-Reyes, Stefani's distant mother.

Gabrielle Rose stars as Iris Campbell, the elder matriarch with ties to the original disaster, and Brec Bassinger plays a younger version of Iris in flashbacks.

The movie's emotional and thematic weight is deepened by the presence of the late Tony Todd, who reprises his role as the cryptic mortician William Bludworth.

Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, with a screenplay by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor based on a story by Jon Watts, the film aims to blend suspense, horror, and emotional tension.

The directors, known for their work on Freaks, take a grounded, character-driven approach while embracing the franchise's trademark death sequences-one of which reportedly took five days to film, involving Richard Harmon's character being dragged by his nose ring.
