A sixth installment of the Final Destination franchise is officially in the works a decade after the previous entry hit theaters in 2011.

During Warner Bros.’s panel at CinemaCon 2023, it was announced that the horror saga will be back once again for the sixth time, presumably even bloodier, with Warner Bros. Discovery taking charge to bring back the horror saga.

The pic hails from "Freaks" filmmakers, Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, with Jon Watts serving as the upcoming film's writer and producer.

Final Destination 6's directors, Lipovsky and Stein, were already confirmed to be on board last year, but the news of the sixth installment of the franchise moving forward was revealed at this year's CinemaCon. 

"Final Destination" debuted in 2000 and followed a group of teenagers entangled in a frightening game of fate and death. It spawned five movies. 

Despite not all movies performing well at both the box office and critical receptions, with some not aging well – the franchise as a whole can be considered a horror classic in itself, thanks to the franchise's gory concept, with a villain without face but certainly terrifying.

The sixth installment was first announced in 2019 and was put on hold due to the pandemic. However, HBO Max (now simply Max) has ultimately decided to revive the franchise. 

Though the plot details for the movie remain unknown, Jeffrey Reddick—the original Final Destination creator and writer—previously revealed that the sixth entry won't follow the movie's usual formula, but will stay faithful to the franchise's entire premise.

Final Destination explores the themes of death and fate approaching in plain sight and utilized everyone's fear of inevitable death and showcased the idea of it chasing someone in the most gruesome way possible. 

The franchise has somewhat created a collective fear in its viewers, with paranoia-inducing scenes like suddenly getting hit by a bus, roller coaster collapse, elevator decapitation, eye surgery gone wrong, a tanning bed accident, and a lot more. Delivering the same fright and premise in the five movies.
