Final Destination - Watch Order: Release Order
The Final Destination franchise is a supernatural horror series centered around the concept that Death has a design, and those who cheat it through premonitions will be hunted down in elaborate accidents. Each film follows a new group of characters who escape a major disaster, only to find themselves dying in increasingly creative and gruesome ways.
This release order watch list presents the films as they were intended to be experienced, with each entry building on the mythology while telling largely standalone stories. The films share thematic elements and occasional character connections, with William Bludworth (Tony Todd) serving as a recurring guide to Death's rules across multiple entries.
