Friday 1 August, only on HBO Max
The newest chapter in New Line Cinema’s bloody successful franchise takes audiences back to the very beginning of Death’s twisted sense of justice – Final Destination Bloodlines.

Dead Hot
Monday 18 August, only on HBO Max

Five years ago, Elliot’s love, Peter, went missing, leaving behind only a severed finger in a pool of blood. Now, Elliot lives with his best friend and Peter’s twin, Jess. The two are platonic soulmates. They won’t pretend like life doesn’t suck—but that doesn’t mean they’re not going to go out, hook up with randoms, get their hopes up over strangers, and laugh their asses off along the way.
Though, Elliot and Jess still cling to a small hope that they’ll find out what happened to the missing third in their trio. Scarred from this trauma, Elliot swore he would never love again… That is, until he met Will. Gorgeous, sexy, charming, and seemingly the most perfect man in the world for Elliot. But when ghosts of the past start to reappear, Elliot and Jess are determined to find out if Elliot is being targeted – or if Peter is still alive.
Dead Hot is the twistiest of thrillers, rooted in Elliot and Jess’s friendship as they navigate all the fun, heartbreak, and absurdity of their mid-twenties—with a bit of mystery, missing persons, and bloody fingers in between.
