Death comes for us all, but when it comes for the hapless bastards in this late sequel, at least it’ll be pretty funny.
When is Final Destination: Bloodlines being released in New Zealand?
Final Destination: Bloodlines arrives in New Zealand cinemas on May 15, 2025.
What is Final Destination: Bloodlines about?
Oh, come on now—you know this one. Coming some 14 years after the last film in the Final Destination franchise, Final Destination 5, Final Destination: Bloodlines sees Stefanie, a college student, haunted by visions of death for her family, her friends, and herself, and trying to track down a way to (*yawn*) break the curse. All pretty standard stuff in this franchise: a group of people escape certain death, only for death to come for them in a variety of creative and gruesome ways, which is the fun part. Apparently this one takes us “back to the beginning,” but we’re pretty sure the last film already did that. Still, we’ll allow it.
The cast of Final Destination: Bloodlines
Lining up for the next life we have Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger, Max Lloyd-Jones, and Tinpo Lee, and no character names have been supplied because, let’s face it, who cares? Presumably Kaitlyn Santa Juana is playing Stefanie, as she’s listed first, but you never know.
But one name on the cast list is definitely worth noting, and it’s that of the late and legendary Tony Todd, who is returning as William Bludworth, funeral director and quite possibly the Angel of Death in human form. Sadly, the leaden-voiced star of The Crow, Candyman, and countless other genre greats (and not so greats—the man was a worker) passed away in November, making this his final film to be released. Bit ironic, really.

Why we’re excited about Final Destination: Bloodlines
“What if Rube Goldberg was death?” is a concept that never gets old.
