A cast of young, largely unknown stars have been set by New Line for Final Destination: Bloodlines, the sixth film in the franchise and the first since 2011. Brec Bassinger (Stargirl), Teo Briones (Chucky), Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Flash), Richard Harmon (The 100), Anna Lore (Gotham Knights), Owen Patrick Joyner (Julie and the Phantoms), Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi-Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor) have been confirmed by Deadline to be part of the cast.
Horror veteran Tony Todd is expected to return as creepy morgue operator William Bludworth, often a fountain of information on Death’s grand design.
The new film will be directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, who last teamed for the 2018 sci-fi thriller Freaks. The script is by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, with Jon Watts among the producers.
So what’s the story about? No details yet, but the franchise centers around a group of people, one of whom will have a premonition of a horrible, tragic event. After warning others and thus saving their lives, Death stalks them one-by-one in the order they were meant to die. Each Final Destination film usually begins with an unforgettable disaster sequence, such as a logging truck disaster, a derailed roller coaster, or a plane crash.
Final Destination: Bloodlines opens in 2025.
