We are finally getting a Final Destination 6 with the long-gestating sequel moving forward at HBO Max. While this sequel has been tossing and turning with no real traction made on its progress for the past decade, it’s now been given a greenlight to go ahead with production at the streaming service. Jon Watts, who helmed Spider-Man: No Way Home, is producing the film.
Additionally, Watts wrote a treatment that will provide the basis of the story for Final Destination 6. THR reports that Lori Evans Taylor (Bed Rest) has teamed up with the new Scream‘s co-writer Guy Busick to write a screenplay based on the treatment. Also producing with Watts are Craig Perry, Sheila Hanahan Taylor, and Dianne McGunigle.
This will be the sixth installment of the franchise and as of now, the sequel is simply titled Final Destination 6. The fifth movie came out back in 2011 and it’s now been longer than a decade since we’ve seen a new film. In recent years, there have been teases and rumors of the new movie happening, but apparently what it needed was a big name like the director of Spider-Man: No Way Home to get involved for WarnerMedia to pull the trigger.

The Final Destination movies all feature a similar storyline. They typically begin with some kind of horrific catastrophe that leaves many people dead or seriously injured. Before it happens, one would-be victim always has a premonition of the carnage and manages to escape before it kills them along with a handful of others. Death then comes back to collect as there’s no cheating Death in the Final Destination universe.
No release date has been announced for Final Destination 6 at this time. The movie will be streaming exclusively on HBO Max when it is released with no words of a theatrical showing.
