Attention: This article reveals plot details from the movie “Final Destination 5 – Bloodlines”. The Skyview event in “Final Destination 5 – Bloodlines” adds an intriguing twist to its connection with the previous four films in the horror series. Each film follows a character who has a premonition of a catastrophic event, attempts to prevent it, and then faces Death as Death takes revenge on the survivors in creative and gory ways. In this latest installment, Iris (played by Brec Bassinger) foresaw a chilling incident at the Skyview restaurant, which resembled the Space Needle, involving a collapsing dance floor made of glass, an enormous explosion, and parts of the building crashing down onto the street.

The remarkable feat Iris accomplished by averting a disaster and thus preserving countless lives caused Death to take its time claiming them in an orderly fashion. This prolonged process also affected the offspring of any survivors who survived long enough to have families, ultimately causing destruction for them as well. Given the vast number of individuals associated with this event, such as Stefani Reyes, a college student and the protagonist of Bloodlines, along with her extended family, it’s plausible that this incident may have connected other victims from previous Final Destination movies, or at least those who had premonitions.

No, Everyone With Premonitions In Final Destination Isn’t A Descendant Of A Skyview Survivor

This Would Be Impossible Given Franchise Canon

As a dedicated cinephile reflecting on the intricate web of premonitions in this franchise, I can’t help but notice an interesting thread that connects all our beloved characters – a thread hinted at in the 2025 film, “Final Destination: Bloodlines.” In this movie, Stefani experiences chilling nightmares about her grandmother Iris’ premonition from half a century ago. This revelation could have subtly suggested that all the prophetic visions within the series stemmed from Iris’ initial vision. The tragedies that were averted due to these visions might have been part of Death’s plan to keep eliminating Skyview survivors and their descendants. However, it seems that Death grew increasingly vengeful when these events were defied yet again, adding another layer to the complex tapestry of fate and mortality in this gripping series.

In my opinion, this theory doesn’t align with the events portrayed in Bloodlines or the established lore of the previous films. For instance, Stefani, unlike other franchise protagonists, doesn’t possess premonitions of her own. Given this uniqueness, it appears more plausible that Death was managing its victims from earlier movies concurrently with its pursuit of Iris. The 2000s offered Death ample opportunity to seek fresh victims, as Iris kept evading Death’s repeated attempts to claim her life, thereby delaying Death’s targeting of other Skyview survivors for several decades.

Final Destination Bloodlines Did Consider Connecting Everything Back To Skyview

The Filmmakers Ultimately Decided Against It

As a passionate movie critic, I must clarify that the Skyview theory, a fan-created narrative connecting the events of the “Final Destination” series, has been explicitly debunked by the filmmakers themselves. During an enlightening conversation with Ash Crossan at ScreenRant, directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein disclosed that they had briefly entertained the idea of tying the Skyview incident to the previous victims in the supernatural slasher franchise, but ultimately chose to abandon it. Here’s a snippet from their discussion:

“We did consider the Skyview theory as one possibility,” Lipovsky and Stein shared. “However, after careful deliberation, we decided that it wasn’t the direction we wanted to take for this installment of ‘Final Destination’.

Connecting Skyview implied that their parents must have passed away prior to their own demise.
In contrast to past films, what makes our movie unique is that every character who perishes is confined strictly to the events of the Skyview incident.
Stein: [However, Iris’ notebook reveals] research on all those other movies.

It’s logical that this concept was mulled over during the pre-production phase since the final movie features several elements that connect it to earlier installments, such as bringing back Kimberly Corman (A.J. Cook) from Final Destination 2 and offering an explanation for the recurring character, mortician William Bludworth (Tony Todd). This linkage could have made the Skyview theory appear convincing initially. However, the directors later disclosed that this idea didn’t fit well with Bloodlines’ connections to the overall Final Destination series.

The Problem With Everyone In Final Destination Being Connected To Skyview

It Doesn’t Square With The Original Movies

According to Adam Stein’s observation, linking the Skyview incident with Death’s previous victims from the Final Destination series faces a significant challenge due to the bloodline concept, which implies that their parents had to die before them. Although parents aren’t typically significant characters in the franchise, they are often present, particularly in the first movie where the focus was on high school students who lived with their parents. Even in Final Destination 3, the main characters were high school students, while the other installments usually followed characters who were college-aged or older.

If we were to narrowly focus on the characters with premonitions from the entire “Final Destination” franchise as those linked to the Skyview incident in “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” this theory would not be convincing. This is because none of the parents from previous films, such as Kimberly Corman’s mother from “Final Destination 2,” who died before the events of the movie, or the parents of Alex Browning (Devon Sawa) and Wendy Christensen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who were both seen or mentioned respectively, are killed by Death prior to targeting their children following their premonitions about the Flight 180 plane crash and a roller coaster disaster.

It’s Better For The Final Destination Franchise That The Skyview Connection Didn’t Work

It Would Have Limited The Series

Instead of merging all the past “Final Destination” deaths through the Skyview incident, which could have been thrilling in the short term, it would have imposed restrictive constraints on the series as a whole. Including the events of those films in Iris’ notebook offers a delightful wink to franchise history while avoiding the sensation that the series mythology is overly constricted. By keeping previous premonitions and deaths unrelated, this implies that Death’s design is a worldwide operation that transcends time rather than being tied to an event from the 1960s.

The link between Skyview would have blocked any future adaptations of “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” since William Bludworth was the sole survivor following the demises of Stefani and Charlie (Teo Briones). Moreover, given that Tony Todd passed away soon after filming his Bludworth character for this movie, he can’t return to play the role in any subsequent films. However, due to the incredible success of the latest edition – surpassing $100 million globally and outperforming “Final Destination 2” during its opening weekend – it seems highly probable that more installments will be produced. This continued success suggests that underscoring the Skyview connection further would have been ill-advised.
