February 1 Will Be a Disappointing Day for Final Destination Fans

Final Destination fans can look forward to catching (parts of) their favorite franchise on a new streaming platform.

Per Max, more than half of the Final Destination feature film franchise will be available for streaming on the platform beginning February 1. Unfortunately for fans, this only includes Final Destination 2, Final Destination 3, and Final Destination 5, leaving the first and fourth films to be found elsewhere by those looking for a complete Final Destination viewing experience.

Peyton List’s Supernatural Teen Drama With 90% Audience Score Gets Season 2 Trailer

The latest hit supernatural teen drama from Paramount+ gets a surprisingly ominous new trailer ahead of the premiere of its second season.

The Final Destination began with the film of the same name released in 2000. Based on an unproduced spec script written by Jeffrey Reddick for The X-Files, Final Destination was directed by James Wong from a script by himself, Reddick, and Glen Morgan. Final Destination starred horror icon Devon Sawa as high school student Alex Browning, who is set to make the trip to Paris for a senior trip only to be stopped at the last moment by a disastrous premonition of terrible things to come. When Alex and his friends escape certain doom by missing their flight, Death itself begins picking them off one by one, setting off a lethal game of cat and mouse that they have little to no hopes of surviving.

Final Destination Spawned a Franchise

Upon its release, Final Destination was met with largely middling to outright negative reviews from critics. Despite the subpar reception, Final Destination still managed to rake in well over $112 million at the global box office on a budget of only $23 million. While this financial success cemented the development of a sequel, the film’s premise, performances, and profoundly over-the-top kills cemented its place as a modern horror classic, which only further endeared it to fans. In the years since, a whopping four sequels have been released, each of which has been a hit with theater audiences, even if critics haven’t been nearly as kind to the franchise.

Stein, and will star Brec Bassinger, Richard Harmon, Max Lloyd-Jones, Teo Briones, April Telek, Anna Lore, Matty Finochio, Owen Patrick Joyner, and Rya Kihlstedt at the core of its ensemble cast.
