Cast edit

Production edit

In October 2022, a Friday the 13th prequel series titled, Crystal Lake, was announced to be in development by A24 with Bryan Fuller as showrunner. It was to be executive produced by Fuller, Victor Miller, Marc Toberoff and Rob Barsamian.[1]

The following month, Fuller revealed to Fangoria that they had complete creative freedom of the franchise under the streaming rights. He further explained, "As a streaming series, we have the rights to do everything underneath the Friday the 13th umbrella. The movie rights are a completely different thing. They are tied up at New Line and are super, super messy and probably won't be untangled anytime soon, but as far as us chickens in the television industry, uh, roost, we have access to anything and everything that Friday the 13th has done up until this point."[2]

In January 2023, Adrienne King was cast in an recurring undisclosed role. She previously portrayed Alice Hardy in the 1980 original film.[3] Writing for the series is slated to begin in late January 2023, with Kevin Williamson set to script an episode for season one.[3] Production was halted in May 2023 due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[4] In May 2024, it was revealed that Fuller had been fired from the series after A24 elected to take the series in a different direction. Production was set to commence once a new showrunner had been hired and that no casting had taken place.[5][6]

Release edit

Crystal Lake is set to air on Peacock. It had previously been scheduled to release in 2024.[1][7]
