‘Final Destination 7’: Death Sets Its Return for May 2028

Breaking: There’s no cheating death. Warner Bros. has dated Final Destination 7 for May 12, 2028.

The new broke out of CinemaCon in Las Vegas on the seventh installment, which is being penned by Final Destination Bloodlines co-writer Lori Evans Taylor (Bed Rest, Cellar Door).

There’s still no director attached as of this writing.

Craig Perry, Sheila Hanahan Taylor, Jon Watts, Dianne McGunigle and Toby Emmerich are returning to produce with Warren Zide executive producing.

Each movie in the Final Destination franchise begins with someone predicting a mass-casualty event, saving a group of unlucky few, only for them to go on to die horrific deaths. Marking the franchise’s first sequel in 14 years, Bloodlines serves as a partial prequel, harkening back to an incident in 1969. (Deadline)

The franchise’s overall $983 million haul makes it New Line’s third biggest horror franchise after The Conjuring and It.
