"Official announcement: Production of 'Final Destination 7' has been confirmed"

After the successful comeback of the "Final Destination" series with "Final Destination: Bloodlines," it has been announced that a seventh installment is in the works.

Release Date

While an official release date for Final Destination 7 has not been confirmed yet, estimates suggest a mid-to-late 2027 release, based on previous production timelines and statements from producer Jon Watts [1][4].

Plot

Details about the plot of the seventh film are scarce, but it is expected to continue the franchise's tradition of exploring inventive and deadly scenarios where Death inevitably claims survivors of a premonition. The creative team behind "Bloodlines," including co-writer Lori Evans Taylor, is returning, which suggests a continuation and expansion of the creative direction set by the sixth installment [4].

Production

In terms of production, while Jon Watts is scouting ideas for new death scenarios, no formal production has started yet, and casting details remain unconfirmed. The success of "Bloodlines," which grossed over $286 million worldwide and received critical acclaim, has strongly influenced the greenlighting of this sequel [1][4].

Notable Collaborations

Lori Evans Taylor, who co-wrote the screenplay for "Bloodlines" with Gary Busick, is currently working on other projects. This includes the adaptation of "The Edge of Normal" with Chloe Grace Moretz and "I Am Still Alive" for Universal, featuring Ben Affleck [4].

Franchise Comparison

With a gross revenue of over $983 million worldwide since its inception, the "Final Destination" series is a significant player in the horror genre. However, it is overshadowed by New Line's largest horror franchise, "The Conjuring," which has grossed an impressive $2.3 billion, and the second-largest, "It," with $1.2 billion [4].

Despite this, "Final Destination: Bloodlines" achieved the best opening weekend in the history of the series, grossing $51 million in the US, surpassing even the success of the "It" films [4].

This next chapter aims to uphold the high standards set by "Bloodlines," the highest-grossing and best-reviewed entry in the series to date [4].
