Unfortunately, there is no release date for “Final Destination 6,” and it’s unlikely that we’ll be seeing it all that soon if behind-the-scenes reports are to be believed. Like many other productions, the reboot was delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes. There are rumblings that the film is just starting production in January 2024, meaning we can probably expect it in late 2024 at the very earliest.
Still, the film will be “well worth the wait,” according to franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick (via Collider). Perhaps strangest of all, though, is that it’s taken this long for another entry in the “Final Destination” series to emerge at all. Over the years, the franchise has always been financially successful, even if critics regularly trounced it, and being that the series doesn’t rely on marquee stars for its success, it seems like a big win-win.
What this could mean, though, is that Warner Bros. is trying to take the franchise to the next level. At the very least, the plot of “Final Destination 6” sounds like it’s taking the concept a lot more seriously in a couple of pivotal ways. Specifically, based on who the film is set to follow, it sounds like we may not be in for the gut-busting Mouse Trap-style kills and ironic song choices of previous movies in the series.
