Jeffrey Reddick, the creator of the Final Destination series, talks about how the upcoming Final Destination 6 will be a type of reboot with a new formula from the other films. The first Final Destination movie was released in 2000, and the property currently boasts five films, two comic books, and nine novels. The five movies all follow the same basic plot where a small group of people is saved from death after the protagonist sees a premonition of their coming demise. Then, they die one by one as death elaborately catches up to them in the form of a shower cord, a garbage disposal, a pool filter, an escalator, a logging truck accident, etc. They have all been marked for death and escaped it, so now it must be satiated.
The sixth movie in the franchise is now in development, as it has been for several years since it was announced in 2019. It has finally found a home on HBO Max with Jon Watts, director of Spider-Man: No Way Home, producing along with his wife Dianne McGunigle, and longtime franchise producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor are returning as well. With such a great team, fans are excited about what Final Destination 6 has in store.
