After a 14-year hiatus, the "Final Destination" franchise made a triumphant return this summer with its sixth installment, "Final Destination: Bloodlines." The film has been met with an overwhelmingly positive reception, earning critical acclaim and shattering previous box office records for the series. It raked in a massive $286 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing entry in the franchise. This represents a resounding victory for a mid-budget horror film with a production cost of only around $50 million.

The success of "Bloodlines" naturally paves the way for more sequels. The Hollywood Reporter (THR) exclusively revealed today that a seventh installment is officially in development. Lori Evans Taylor, co-writer of "Bloodlines," is confirmed to return to pen the screenplay. Jon Watts, director of the first three MCU "Spider-Man" films, and his wife Dianne McGunigle will continue to serve as producers. A release date has not yet been set.
