New Final Destination Bloodlines Trailer Serves Up Plenty of Potential Victims

As we see in the trailer below, it all goes back to a family matriarch, who may have been the first to experience one of the death-defying premonitions that typify the series. As a young woman she successfully saved a rotating restaurant full of patrons, but in doing so she placed a curse on her extended family, a debt that Death would return to collect decades later. Now, anyone who “never should have been born” is fair game. To illustrate this, the footage below picks up at a backyard family BBQ, setting up ominous red herrings for any number of improbable deaths–a shard of glass in your drink cup, a flame-belching grill, a faulty trampoline, a wayward lawnmower. There are so many ways to die in the middle of a family party, turns out.

Todd, meanwhile, completed his work on Final Destination Bloodlines before his passing last fall, and he can be seen here returning as resident Death expert William Bludworth, with a plot that will reportedly dive more into that character’s backstory. The film will no doubt draw a little bit of flak for relying on Todd’s final posthumous appearance for promotion, although with the subject matter of Final Destination Bloodlines it’s difficult to say it’s anything but apropos. The film, from directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, lands in U.S. theaters on May 16, 2025. Check out the full trailer below.
