Warner Bros. has released the official trailer for Final Destination: Bloodlines, the latest installment in the long-running horror franchise. The film, set to premiere in May 2025, revisits the series’ core premise — cheating death comes with consequences.

A key moment in the trailer references one of the franchise’s most recognizable scenes: the log truck sequence from Final Destination 2. The footage shows characters narrowly avoiding a similar highway accident, a clear nod to the infamous highway catastrophe sequence that traumatised an entire generation of drivers.

The story follows Stefanie Lewis (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), a college student plagued by violent nightmares. Her search for answers leads her back home, where she discovers that her grandmother once survived a fatal accident, placing the entire Lewis family on death’s watchlist. As Stefanie attempts to break the cycle, the film explores whether fate can truly be altered or if every escape is only a delay.

The late Tony Todd returns as William Bludworth, the mysterious mortician who has appeared throughout the series. His involvement suggests a connection between Bloodlines and the original Final Destination. The film also stars Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, and Anna Lore, with Brec Bassinger in a key role.

Directed by Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky, with a screenplay by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, Final Destination: Bloodlines will be released internationally beginning May 14, 2025, before its U.S. debut on May 16.
