The newly released trailer is packed with spine-tingling premonitions, brutal fates, and the return of a fan-favourite character.
One of the biggest talking points from the trailer is the log truck callback. While the footage shows characters narrowly avoiding it, longtime franchise fans know that in this universe, escaping once doesn’t mean you’re safe. The trailer teases the possibility that Final Destination 6 could recreate the franchise’s most haunting death sequence, making sure that the new generation of audience will share the same fear of driving behind unsecured cargo.

While the teaser trailer paid homage to the series’ origins, the second preview is loaded with callbacks to previous films, particularly the highway pileup from Final Destination 2, undeniably the most spine-chilling scene in franchise hory. The sight of a log truck in the trailer is a direct nod to the moment that left an entire generation of drivers second-guessing their lane choices. But beyond nostalgia, as the production house describes, it reshapes the Final Destination formula. This time, death’s plan isn’t as straight and simple. The film introduces a chain of “interrupted fatalities,” suggesting that past survivors may have unknowingly changed the course of fate.
