A Franchise Built on Premonitions
The horror series began in 2000 with a film starring Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Kerr Smith and Seann William Scott. Its premise differs from horror stories centered on masked killers: people escape deadly disasters after frightening visions, only to find that Death is still pursuing them.
Across the franchise, memorable disasters include a highway pileup, a roller coaster accident and a suspension bridge collapse. The six films have drawn more than $980 million at the global box office.
Bloodlines Returns After 14 Years
The series returned in 2025 with Final Destination Bloodlines, its first installment in 14 years. The film stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Brec Bassinger and the late Tony Todd. Bloodlines became the franchise’s top box-office performer, earning more than $317 million worldwide.
