This year, Bloodlines introduced a fresh group of characters who all fell victim to Death’s plan, crafted by directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein alongside writers Taylor and Guy Busick. Lipovsky and Stein have shared that they poured all their creative energy into Bloodlines but left the door open to return if fans wanted more and if they came up with new ideas.
Bloodlines featured the return of Tony Todd as William Bludworth, giving his character a meaningful farewell. The seventh film will not include Bludworth but producer Perry hinted that AJ Cook’s character Kimberly, the sole survivor, could make a comeback in future movies.
