Producer Craig Perry confirmed that there are no plans to go ahead with a new Final Destination film, likely making The Final Destination the last installment in the series. He said that combined with a now 3D installment, the film series started to look "cheesy in name alone" and like "another one of those" films a part of a dying or discontinued franchise, such as Leprechaun 4. He added that the word "The" in the title was to signify this as the last film in the series and that it is difficult to come up with "a fresh spin" for these types of franchises:
These things are hard to figure out, they’re getting more and more expensive to do. This is kind of the intersection that makes everything come to bear. It has a healthy budget, the special FX is great, a great marketing department and it has a really nice franchise loyalty to build from and to deliver to, why push it any further than this?
Despite Perry feeling that the Final Destination franchise may be better left at The Final Destination, he said that he does have an idea for a sequel. "Of course, Freddy had a Final Nightmare too, and that didn’t last very long," he stated. "I do have an idea which would make it less expensive, but make it more interesting, [assuming] we’re fortunate enough to even have the conversation about what a fifth one would even be. I think that the fans in particular will appreciate the spin it puts on the notions."

I am actually saddened by this, the FD Franchise was actually one of the better ones in my view, and I will miss it
If there is a Part 5 that has to be the last one, I want them to have a chance to end the series right
