Final Destination: Bloodlines is bringing back a familiar yet chilling tale—one that continues to captivate and terrify fans alike. For those unaware, the highly anticipated film marks the sixth installment in the beloved thriller franchise.

Director Zach Lipovsky recently offered a glimpse into what sets this new chapter apart. Speaking to SFX Magazine, he revealed, “For this film, the first premonition takes place in 1969,” signaling a departure from the more modern settings of previous entries.

He went on to say that the film shakes up the usual predictability, including who dies next and how it happens.

Co-directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, Final Destination: Bloodlines is set to hit theaters on May 16, 2025.
