List of Final Destination characters

James Wong's, David R. Ellis', Steven Quale's, Zach Lipovsky's & Adam Stein's American superatural horror series Final Destination features a large cast of characters, many of whom were originally created by Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick with contributions from James Wong (who directed and wrote the first and third films), J. Mackye Gruber (who wrote the second), Eric Bress (who wrote the second and fourth), Eric Heisserer (who wrote the fifth), and Guy Busick & Lori Evans Taylor (who wrote the sixth). The series comprises five films: Final Destination (2000), Final Destination 2 (2003), Final Destination 3 (2006), The Final Destination (2009), and Final Destination 5 (2011), with Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025) currently filming.

Devon Sawa and Ali Larter have central roles in the first film, with only Larter returning for the second film. Tony Todd have a supporting role in all but the fourth film, with a voice cameo in the third film. A. J. Cook, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Bobby Campo, Nicholas D'Agosto, and Brec Bassinger have central roles from the second to the sixth film, respectively.

The series focuses on protagonists who experience a sudden premonition of themselves and several other people dying in a catastrophic accident, only to escape the event moments before it turns into a reality. The survivors are later killed one by one in the same order they should have died in the premonition through bizarre accidents caused by an unseen force that creates complicated chains of cause and effect frequently resembling Rube Goldberg machines in their complexity. Despite depicting homicide, the series is noteworthy amongst others in the horror genre because the "villain" is not the stereotypical slasher or monster, but the Death itself—occasionally seen as a shadow or a wind gust—which manipulates the environment in deadly ways to reclaim the lives of the survivors.

The list of characters includes those who died in the initial premonitions and those who died among the survivors. Characters are listed in alphabetical order, and are arranged by chronological appearance. Unnecessary characters are excluded, for example, those who do not affect the story heavily. The characters' status indicates whether they are alive, deceased, or if their fate is unknown.

After being released he returns to his apartment, where he heats up some noodles in the microwave, unaware that a refrigerator magnet has fallen in the box, while he fries mozzarella sticks on the stove. While trying on his new jewelry, his microwave begins to spark, startling him and causing him to drop his new ring down the sink. When he reaches into the drain to retrieve it, his watch causes his hand to get stuck. When the stove starts to flare, he attempts to put out the fire with his shirt, but inadvertently causes the pan to fall over, setting the entire apartment on fire.

• Status: Alive

Kimberly "Kim" Corman is the protagonist and visionary of Final Destination 2. She is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up.

Kimberly is a college student from White Plains, New York, who was planning on visiting Daytona Beach, Florida for spring break with her friends Shaina McKlank, Dano Estevez, and Frankie Whitman. A year prior, she was supposed to have been killed in a mugging that took her mom's life, but was distracted by a news report about Tod's 'suicide'. After stopping on the on-ramp to Route 23, Kimberly has a premonition of a pile-up in which several people, including her and her friends, are killed. She stalls her vehicle preventing those who would have died from entering the freeway, but her friends are killed moments later by a speeding semi-trailer truck. She and the other survivors are later brought to the police station, where she and Eugene Dix explain the similarities between their experience and the survivors of Flight 180. When Evan Lewis dies, Kimberly seeks the help of Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers, who initially refuses, but later brings her and Officer Thomas Burke to William Bludworth. He tells them that only "new life" can defeat Death, leading them to believe that if Isabella Hudson has her baby it will ruin Death's plan and they will all be safe. Although the other survivors meet their demise, Kimberly, Clear, and Burke manage to save Isabella and her infant son. Upon realizing that Isabella was never on Death's list, Kimberly attempts to sacrifice herself by driving a van into a lake, but she is rescued by Burke and resuscitated by Dr. Ellen Kalarjian, thus granting her "new life".

In Final Destination 3, a newspaper article reveals that Kimberly and Burke were killed after being knocked into a wood chipper at a hardware store; however, this is only mentioned in an alternate ending, making it non-canon.

After Kimberly prevents them from entering the highway, she and the other survivors are brought to the police station for questioning. There, Kimberly tries to warn the survivors that Death may still be after them, but Nora dismisses her theory and leaves. The next day, Tim is killed while leaving the dentist, leaving Nora devastated. She later attends a meeting for the survivors at Officer Thomas Burke's apartment, but leaves early to plan her son's funeral. While inside an elevator with Eugene Dix, she gets a call from Burke, who warns her about a man with hooks. Moments later, her hair gets entangled by a man standing behind her holding prosthetic limbs with hooks and her neck is trapped between the elevator doors as she tries to escape; the elevator then starts to move.

• Status: Alive

Trooper Thomas Burke is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up.

Burke is a New York State Trooper stationed in Westchester County, and also performs secondary tasks such as police investigation and crime scene cleanup. A year prior to the Route 23 pile-up he was ordered to clean up the remains of Billy Hitchcock, and therefore avoided a shootout that took the life of his partner. In the film, Kimberly Corman has a premonition of a pile-up, in which a log crashes through Burke's windshield and decapitates him. Kimberly prevents him and several others from entering the highway, and the survivors are brought to the police station for questioning. Burke is the only one to consider Kimberly's theory that Death may still after them. After Evan Lewis' death, he and Kimberly attempt to save the remaining survivors, with the help of Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers. She brings them to William Bludworth, who asserts that only "new life" can defeat Death. This leads them to believe that if Isabella Hudson has her baby it will ruin Death's plan, and they will all be safe. Burke falsely accuses Isabella of grand theft auto, and she is incarcerated. After the death of several other survivors, Isabella goes into labor, and Burke, Kimberly, and Clear rush to the hospital, where they witness Isabella give birth. They believe they have finally cheated Death until Kimberly realizes that Isabella was never on Death's list. Kimberly sacrifices herself for Burke's sake, and after he saves her, she is resuscitated by Dr. Ellen Kalarjian, thus granting her "new life". Since Kimberly died out of order, Death's list is ruined, saving Burke as well.

While there, Kimberly warns them that Death may still be after them, but he and Nora ignore her warning and leave. The next day, he and his mother go to his dentist appointment. While there, he is infused with laughing gas and the dentist leaves due to an emergency.

Ashley enters the room with Ashlyn, ignoring the worker when he tells her to throw out her slushie, and sets it on a table above the power supply unit. Ashlyn turns up the air conditioner, while Ashley browses through CDs on a shelf, accidentally pulling the shelf loose. As they lie in the tanning beds, condensation from Ashley's slushie begins to drip onto the power supply unit, causing it to malfunction.
