Although the filmmakers had already been confirmed, CinemaCon 2023 served as an affirmation of the film’s latest installment is great news for fans of the franchise and although the original creator and writer of Final DestinationJeffrey Reddick previously confirmed that the film won’t be sticking to the same formula, the screenwriters reaching out to the man who started it all bodes well for the franchise staying true to the formula and source of what’s made it a beloved saga.
Final Destination has found much success in its ability to bring everyday fears to life and completely terrorize viewers into fearing the most common dangers that we don’t even think twice about. Throw in the unique supernatural element of avoiding death and having it come back for you and you have the franchise that is over 20 years old and still is one of the most beloved out there in the horror genre. Not every sequel has hit the mark or aged well, but with the team behind the sixth installment, the film is set to reinvigorate the franchise with new life… or death.
Final Destination 6 still finds itself in the early stages of development with plot details and release date pending.
