It’s been 14 years, but the wait is over—Final Destination: Bloodlines is bringing death’s twisted design back to the big screen. The new installment in the iconic horror franchise has just released its official trailer, promising the nail-biting tension and elaborate fatal sequences that fans have come to love. Set to hit cinemas on May 16, this chapter introduces a chilling new story of fate, family, and the relentless grip of destiny.
The latest trailer for Final Destination: Bloodlines sheds light on the film’s narrative, which follows a family bound by a dark legacy. After a grandmother reveals that she once cheated death, she warns that the consequences are now coming back with full force to claim her loved ones. As the protagonist desperately searches for a way to break the cycle, the film delivers the signature chain-reaction deaths and high-stakes suspense that have defined the Final Destination series. Co-directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein (Kim Possible, Freaks), Bloodlines aims to push the franchise into a fresh, terrifying direction.
Bringing new faces to the franchise, the cast includes Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game), Brec Bassinger (The Man in the White Van), Teo Briones (Chucky), Richard Harmon (The 100), Rya Kihlstedt (Home Alone 3), Owen Patrick Joyner (Julie and the Phantoms), and Anna Lore (Doom Patrol). The screenplay, co-written by Lori Evans Taylor and Guy Busick (Ready or Not, Abigail, Scream 7), promises a thrilling mix of intricate kills and pulse-pounding horror.
One of the most emotional aspects of Final Destination: Bloodlines is its farewell to a horror icon. Tony Todd, known for his chilling role as funeral home owner William Bludworth, returns for one final performance before his passing last year. A staple of the Final Destination franchise since its inception, Tony Todd’s presence in this installment adds a nostalgic and poignant weight to the film. His deep-voiced warnings and ominous presence have long been a highlight for fans, making his last appearance a truly special moment in horror history.
With the resurgence of classic horror franchises like Scream and The Strangers, Final Destination: Bloodlines looks to strike a perfect balance between honoring its past and ushering in a new generation of fans. As the trailer teases, the film will deliver all the shocking twists, elaborate set pieces, and heart-stopping moments that make Final Destination a genre-defining series.
