A Look Back at the Final Destination Franchise
The first Final Destination movie debuted in 2000, and the latest film in the series was released in 2011. Each film follows a group of people who miraculously survive a deadly disaster—only to be hunted down one by one in bizarre and gruesome accidents caused by an unseen force: death itself. Despite receiving mixed to negative reviews, the original movie was a box office success, leading to four more sequels, and now, a highly anticipated new installment is on the way.
In addition to the movies, Final Destination has expanded into novels and comic books, adding more depth to the franchise’s eerie universe. Ali Larter and Tony Todd are the only actors who appeared in Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5. While Tony Todd is confirmed to return in Final Destination: Bloodlines, Ali Larter’s name is absent from the cast list.
