Get ready to cheat death — again. After 14 years of silence, the Final Destination franchise is back from the grave, and its newest chapter, Final Destination: Bloodlines, is now officially streaming on HBO Max. (Or just Max, if you’re fancy like that.)
With a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score and all the brutal, Rube Goldberg-style chaos fans crave, Bloodlines doesn’t just revive the franchise — it slices straight through expectations.
New Scream Queen on the Block: Meet Stefani
This time, the Grim Reaper sets its sights on Stefani (played by rising star Kaitlyn Santa Juana), a college student haunted by eerie, recurring nightmares. But these aren’t your average stress dreams about finals — they’re visions of death, destruction, and a fate she’s desperate to escape.
Desperate for answers, Stefani tracks down her estranged grandmother — a survivor with secrets of her own — hoping to unravel the mystery before Death catches up. Let’s just say, the family tree gets pruned in horrifying fashion.
The Franchise’s Goriest Glow-Up Yet?
Critics are calling Bloodlines a return to form for the beloved horror series that made everyday objects terrifying. Blenders, escalators, ceiling fans — nothing is safe, and Bloodlines finds fresh, stomach-turning ways to turn your most mundane fears into cinematic nightmares.
What makes this one stand out? Smart storytelling, terrifying set pieces, and a slick visual style that reminds fans why they fell in love with the franchise in the first place. Oh, and did we mention the Rotten Tomatoes score is sitting at a blood-soaked 93%?

Why Final Destination Still Slays in 2025
The secret sauce of this franchise has always been its unique twist: there’s no slasher with a mask, no haunted house — just Death itself, playing puppet master with fate. And after a decade away, Bloodlines proves that the concept still works terrifyingly well.
