Jeffrey Reddick (raised in Jackson, Kentucky) is an American screenwriter, probably best known for creating the Final Destination series. He was also the executive producer for the second film. He also wrote the horror film Tamara and the upcoming remake of 'Day of the Dead.

He always wanted to be in filmmaking. At 14, after watching "A Nightmare on Elm Street" he typed a 10-page prequel and sent it to New Line Cinema. But the studio wasn't sold on the unsolicited manuscript and sent it back to him. So he sent New Line chairman Robert Shaye a surly letter. Shaye responded saying Reddick had "a fertile imagination" but his story "lacked structure." Reddick then started a letter-and-phone relationship with Shaye and his assistant. Reddick landed an internship with New Line during college and he worked there for almost 11 years. New Line produced Jeffrey's first screenplay (originally called Flight 180) which became the hit franchise "Final Destination." Jeffrey finally quit his full time job at New Line after selling his treatment for "Final Destination 2.".
