The captivating universe of Final Destination is set to expand further, as a seventh film in this iconic franchise is officially under development, following the remarkable success of Final Destination Bloodlines.
What exciting details do we have about Final Destination 7?
Recent reports from The Hollywood Reporter reveal that Final Destination 7 is progressing at Warner Bros., with the talented writer Lori Evans Taylor appointed to craft the screenplay for this anticipated installment.

Bloodlines not only achieved impressive commercial success but also garnered critical acclaim, becoming the highest-rated film in the extensive Final Destination series.

Their dedication as fans of the franchise was evident during the direction of Bloodlines, and their passion for the series was highlighted as one of the key aspects praised by audiences and critics after its release.
The sixth installment in the beloved franchise showcased a talented cast, including Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, Rya Kihlstedt, Bassinger, and the late Tony Todd, each contributing to the film’s engaging narrative and thrilling sequences.
The official synopsis for the upcoming film tantalizingly states, “Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all.” This premise sets the stage for another thrilling adventure filled with suspense and unexpected twists.
