CrystalLake, a ‘Friday the 13th’ prequel series, is in development, with Bryan Fuller to serve as showrunner.
Much like Jason Voorhees, the Friday the 13th franchise is rising from the dead. After a series of legal battles, Peacock has ordered Crystal Lake, a Friday the 13th prequel from Bryan Fuller, straight to series.
A24 will produce the upcoming series, which will presumably focus on Camp Crystal Lake, the placid, wooded New Jersey campgound setting for the long-running slasher series, before the events of 1980's Friday the 13th. Fuller, the producer of Pushing Daisies, Hannibal, and Star Trek: Discovery, has stated "I discovered Friday the 13th in the pages of Famous Monsters magazine when I was 10 years old and I have been thinking about this story ever since.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Series details are being kept under wraps, but the title provides a hint. The opening scenes of Friday the 13th depict the murder of two camp counselors at Cap Crystal Lake in 1958; the movie eventually reveals the murderer was Pamela Voorhees , who did so to avenge her disabled son Jason, who drowned while the counselors were neglecting their duties.
The franchise has laid fallow since 2009's Platinum Dunes Friday the 13th reboot, due to a long-running legal dispute between Victor Miller, the screenwriter of the original film, and Horror Inc., its producers, over who has ownership of Jason Voorhees. In 2021, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Miller's work was not legally work-for-hire, and thus Miller did own the rights to Jason.
