Final Destination: Bloodlines reignited audiences' hunger for seeing people getting killed off in ridiculous fashion, all because someone thought they cheated Death. It came as no surprise, then, that following its box-office success, a new film was being fast-tracked into development. Now, the news is out that they've found a director to give Death a new batch of bodies to crush, carve, and basically leave in a horrific mess. Lovely stuff.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the franchise is enlisting the help of Belgian filmmaker Michiel Blanchart, who will be working on his first English-language film. Blanchart, who made his directorial debut with Night Call in 2024, will be taking over from directing duo Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, who handled Bloodlines. Thankfully, Blanchart will have some assistance from someone familiar with the franchise, given that Lori Evans Taylor, who also co-wrote the last film, has been called in to handle script duties here as well.
