Final Destination Bloodlines revives the dormant horror franchise, and viewers will likely question if there are any post-credits scenes teasing what’s to come next. The sixth entry in the popular series is the first to come out in 14 years. Final Destination Bloodlines incorporates an entirely new cast of characters who are hunted by Death. However, the big difference with this sequel is how these characters are connected to Death’s plan. The story revolves around Stefani Reyes as she inherits her grandmother’s premonitions and races to save her entire family.

Despite the success of the Final Destination movies, the franchise has never been too forward-thinking about setting up future installments. A lot of this comes down to the basic outline of each entry, with a typical film in this series concluding with Death winning and all the main characters dying. The lack of recurring characters in the series makes it more difficult to set up sequels. Still, the use of post-credits scenes can be helpful for franchises looking to tease audiences with a glimpse of the future, almost like a premonition in Final Destination.

Final Destination Bloodlines Does Not Have A Post-Credits Scene

But You Should Still Watch The Credits

It is confirmed that Final Destination Bloodlines does not include a post-credits scene. The film elects to let the credits roll in their entirety instead of stopping them halfway through for a mid-credits scene. There is also no additional scene tacked on as an after-credits scene. Anyone who watches Final Destination Bloodlines in theaters, or later on streaming, does not need to worry about missing a vital development for the franchise’s future if they do not stick around for the credits.

However, it is still encouraged to sit through the credits of Final Destination Bloodlines. This allows an opportunity to see the names of everyone who worked on the film. That notably includes a dedication to Tony Todd, the franchise’s lone recurring cast member, after he pᴀssed away in November 2024. Even without a post-credits scene to watch, sitting through the credits allows an opportunity to reflect on Tony Todd’s legacy and importance to the Final Destination franchise.

Final Destination Bloodlines Not Including A Credits Scene Continues A Franchise Tradition

The Franchise Is Old School

Given the modern era of Hollywood and how common post-credits scenes have become for major franchises, Final Destination Bloodlines not having one could come as a surprise to some. However, that is not how Final Destination operates. The franchise has never included a post-credits scene across the five previous movies. There have been instances where the credits go beyond simply scrolling through names, though. Final Destination 5‘s credits included footage from all the previous films to show the franchise’s history.

Without an established trend of Final Destination movies having credits scenes, it makes sense that Final Destination Bloodlines would also not use one. There’s no pre-existing expectation from franchise fans that there will be something in the credits. This ensures that Final Destination Bloodlines‘ ending is the last thing audiences experience with this story, even if the franchise eventually continues.

Why It’s Best That Final Destination Bloodlines Doesn’t Have An End Credits Scene

The Franchise’s Future Is Unconfirmed

Post-credits scenes can be useful for franchises like Final Destination when there is a clear roadmap to what will come next or guarantees that a sequel is happening. But as of the time of Final Destination Bloodlines‘ release, neither of those things are true. Warner Bros. and New Line have not confirmed that a seventh installment will happen. How the movie performs at the box office will be a determining factor. But considering Final Destination Bloodlines‘ Rotten Tomatoes score setting a franchise record, moving forward with another installment from directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein seems probable.

Even then, it’s better for Final Destination Bloodlines not to include a post-credits scene. Each of these movies typically has a brand new cast, premise, and location. It’s difficult to tease those elements in a credits scene unless there is a very early idea for what a sequel would do. Now, the lack of a credits scene provides the franchise with some freedom regarding where it goes next after Final Destination Bloodlines.
