After spending 16 years lying dormant at the bottom of a lake due to complicated rights issues relating to the character, Jason Voorhees is finally set to return to terrorize a new group of teenage camp councillors.

We recently learned that Chucky and Long Bright River actor Callum Vinson has been cast as a young, pre-relentless killer take on Jason in A24's Crystal Lake prequel series, but we now have an update on the first actor to don the legendary movie maniac's iconic hockey mask on screen since the 2009 Friday the 13th reboot.

Bloody Disgusting is reporting that a new 13-minute short titled Sweet Revenge is coming our way next week as part of the newly-formed Jason Universe, and Voorhees will be played by actor and stuntman Schuyler White, who previously portrayed the character in director Mike P. Nelson’s vignette.

Though a new actor might well take over as Jason when - well,...

The town of Blairstown, New Jersey was used as the stand-in for the fictional town of Crystal Lake during the filming of director Sean S. Cunningham’s 1980 classic Friday the 13th – and now, the cast and crew of the Peacock TV series Crystal Lake are filming in the same town, making this the first Friday the 13th project to use Blairstown as Crystal Lake since the original movie! Pictures from the set can be seen below.

On Halloween of 2022, it was announced that original Friday the 13th screenwriter Victor Miller – fresh off winning the U.S. copyright to the 1980 film after a lawsuit that stretched on for years – was teaming up with his lawyer Marc Toberoff, franchise rights holder Rob Barsamian, production company A24, the Peacock streaming service, and showrunner Bryan Fuller (whose credits include Hannibal and Pushing Daisies) to develop Crystal Lake. Things were moving ahead at a good pace,...

To call Stephen King prolific is an understatement. Over the course of six decades, the man has become more than just an author; he is now an internationally recognizable brand unto himself. He has written 65 novels in total, in addition to hundreds more short stories since first debuting in 1974 with his first book, Carrie.

Considering the sheer volume of work that King has created, what is even more surprising is just how lengthy many of his books are. One of the longest books King has ever written was It, released in 1986. The book housed a massive tale of horror, with a tale spread across multiple generations and dozens of characters.

The book was so long that each on-screen adaptation of it has had to embrace long-form storytelling of one form or another. For the ‘90s adaptation, director Tommy Lee Wallace crafted the iconic television mini-series starring Tim Curry. For the more recent effort,...

On Halloween of 2022, it was announced that original Friday the 13th screenwriter Victor Miller – fresh off winning the U.S. copyright to the 1980 film after a lawsuit that stretched on for years – was teaming up with his lawyer Marc Toberoff, franchise rights holder Rob Barsamian, production company A24, the Peacock streaming service, and showrunner Bryan Fuller (whose credits include Hannibal and Pushing Daisies) to develop a new Friday the 13th streaming series called Crystal Lake. Things were moving ahead at a good pace, filming was expected to begin last July, but then the project hit a speed bump at the end of April with the firing of Fuller and his frequent collaborator Jim Danger Gray. Things got back on track in late August with the hiring of a new showrunner – and that person is Brad Caleb Kane,...

Casting continues on the upcoming Friday the 13th television series “Crystal Lake,” with filming on the project underway as we speak. The series from Peacock and A24 is set to be an expanded prequel to the original slasher classic from 1980, and that’s been reflected by many of the casting announcements that have been hitting our desk in recent weeks.

Callum Vinson is playing a young Jason Voorhees in the series, with Linda Cardellini starring as Mrs. Voorhees. Cameron Scoggins is playing Dorf, also a character from the original Friday the 13th, with Nick Cordileone as “Crazy Ralph,” Danielle Kotch as Claudette, and Phoenix Parnevik as Barry, all characters from that original movie.

The fan website Friday the 13th Franchise additionally reports today that Nancy Nagrant has joined the cast as Kay Christy, a relative of Steve Christy from Friday the 13th (1980)!

Steve Christy was played by Peter Brouwer in Sean Cunningham’s slasher classic,...

If you’ve ever whispered “Kill her, Mommy” under your breath while chopping vegetables, this one’s for you.

For fans of the original Friday the 13th — especially those of us who worship the first two films — Peacock’s upcoming series Crystal Lake might be the most exciting horror revival on the horizon. And while it’s taken a few machete swings behind the scenes, the project is alive, bloody, and officially filming in New Jersey.

Here’s everything we know so far about the return to the woods that started it all…

(Paramount Pictures/Screenshot) What’s Crystal Lake About?

Peacock is calling Crystal Lake an “expanded prequel,” but that doesn’t quite do justice to the scope of what’s been teased.

Considering the fact that It — or Pennywise the Dancing Clown, as they prefer — is an ancient extraterrestrial entity who made first contact with Earth in approximately 1 Million Bce, it's somewhat surprising that it's taken 39 years for Stephen King's horror opus and its titular terrifier to get a spin-off. But now, with HBO Max's upcoming It: Welcome To Derry, we are about to get exactly that: a prequel series to Andy Muschietti's It duology set in 1962, 27 years before Pennywise and The Loser Club first made each other's acquaintance. And if the new trailer for the show is anything to go by, it looks like sleep's back off the menu — check it out below;

HBO has released the second official trailer for It: Welcome to Derry, offering a chilling preview of the upcoming nine-episode series based on Stephen King’s 1986 horror novel. Arriving on HBO Max this October, the prequel pulls audiences back into the cursed town of Derry, Maine, to explore the evil that lurked there long before the Losers’ Club faced off against Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

The teaser begins in 1962, as a new family settles into town, unaware of the dark force that quietly festers beneath the surface. Early glimpses hint at a population infected by paranoia and cruelty, as an unexplained evil appears to feed on Derry’s collective fears. While Bill Skarsgård’s return as Pennywise is only teased, his looming presence is unmistakable, with references to mysterious disappearances and unspoken horrors suggesting the beginning of a fresh cycle of terror.

It: Welcome to Derry expands the world...

A new trailer for It: Welcome to Derry has been released following a panel at the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday evening, and it teases a sinister, demonic force in the small town, which may be there in addition to Pennywise.

Once again, we see very little of Bill Skarsgård's killer clown, an indication perhaps that his screentime will be fairly limited. That or HBO Max is simply looking to keep the iconic monster and his role in this story under wraps (ensuring there are plenty of surprises for horror fans).

It's also been confirmed that It: Welcome to Derry will premiere this October, meaning we should return to Derry in time for Halloween.

The series, from Warner Bros. Television and developed for television by filmmakers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman), will debut on HBO and also be available to stream on Max. Muschietti will direct...

It: Welcome to Derry is bringing everyone’s favorite killer clown to the small screen later this year.

The second teaser for the upcoming HBO series was unveiled Saturday night at a spooky late night San Diego Comic-Con panel before it was released online Sunday. In it, we see a glimpse at the panic that ensues as a nefarious force begins to creep its way into Derry and children start disappearing.

The teaser primarily focuses on Taylour Paige, who plays a young woman who has just moved to Derry with her husband when things start to go awry in the small town. Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise briefly appears at the end, but his presence is felt throughout. Watch the full teaser above.

Set in the world of Stephen King’s It universe, Welcome to Derry expands the vision established by filmmaker Andy Muschietti in the feature films, which amassed a combined $1.17 billion worldwide.

Horror Inc. Vice President Robbie Barsamian teases an expansion of the Friday the 13th franchise. Founded by Sean Cunningham, who directed the original 1980 classic, the production company Horror Inc. owns the rights to the popular horror franchise created by Victor Miller and is currently at the stage of expanding the Jason universe.

A prequel titled Crystal Lake is currently in production, focusing on Jason Voorhees' childhood and the events leading up to the first Friday the 13th movie, while the company previously promised to introduce a new look for Jason as well as bring a multimedia immersive experience in the coming years.

At the San Diego Comic-Con, Barsamian, who is producing Crystal Lake, revealed that they are working on a new sequel movie and a video game, per Bloody Disgusting. He shared that both are "at the top" of their list and where "most" of their energy is going. While...

The upcoming TV series It: Welcome to Derry, which will serve as a prequel to Warner Bros’ two-part adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel It (pick up a copy Here), was originally meant to be for the HBO Max streaming service, but it has since been confirmed that it will be airing on HBO as well. The show went into production in Port Hope, Ontario at the end of last year, and is now aiming for a premiere before the end of 2025. With the Halloween season swiftly approaching, a new teaser trailer for the show has dropped online and can be seen in the embed above.

Brad Caleb Kane (Tokyo Vice) and Jason Fuchs (Wonder Woman), who was a co-producer on It: Chapter Two, are the showrunners on It: Welcome to Derry (and Kane recently signed on to be showrunner on the Friday the 13th series Crystal Lake as well.

HBO is taking us back to where It all began with “Welcome to Derry,” a nine-episode series that will serve as a prequel to Andy Muschietti’s It films. Watch the new teaser trailer now.

Based on Mike Hanlon’s interludes from Stephen King’s novel, which document catastrophic events from the Maine town’s past, “It: Welcome to Derry” kicks off in 1962 in the time leading up to the events of It: Chapter One. The series premieres on HBO Max in October 2025.

Andy Muschietti, who directs multiple episodes of the series, has teased that second and third seasons, if ordered by HBO, would take place in 1935 and 1908, respectively.

Taylour Paige (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F), Jovan Adepo (“The Stand”), Chris Chalk (“Gotham”), James Remar (“Dexter”), Madeleine Stowe (“Revenge”), and Stephen Rider (“Daredevil”) star in the series, with Bill Skarsgård returning as Pennywise the Clown.

HBO unveiled the second official teaser for the original drama series It: Welcome to Derry, from Warner Bros. Television, last night at San Diego Comic-Con.

Developed for television by filmmakers Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs, the series will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max in October.

Andy Muschietti will direct multiple episodes of the original series. Set in the world of Stephen King’s It universe, It: Welcome to Derry is based on King’s It novel and expands the vision established by filmmaker Andy Muschietti in the feature films It and It Chapter Two.

The Sweet Revenge teaser wasn’t the only Friday the 13th reveal at San Diego Comic-Con last night. Horror Inc. Vice President Robbie Barsamian confirmed that a new sequel film and video game are in early development.

“I can tell you that a new sequel movie and new sequel game are at the top of our list. It’s where most of our energy’s going right now. And I can tell you finally we’re in a position to deliver on that,” said Barsamian.

“While we’re not officially announcing with our partners today, both are coming. They’re both in the works and they’re both coming.”

As you can see in the clip below, the audience erupted at the news. It’s been 16 long years and counting since Jason Voorhees graced the big screen.

2025 marks the 45th anniversary of the release of one of the most popular horror movies ever made, Friday the 13th, the movie that launched my favorite franchise, and one that I feel is underrated, as it’s a great film that often gets overshadowed by its sequels. Last year, the Friday the 13th franchise rights holders at Horror Inc. announced that they were launching the Jason Universe, which would encompass “new Friday the 13th activations that will span a wide range of platforms from entertainment, games, immersive experiences, merchandise and more to be announced @JasonUniverse13 on social media or by visiting the official Jason Universe website.” Now, they’ve shared some information on what’s ahead for the franchise at a San Diego Comic-Con panel, unveiling a teaser trailer for the vignette Sweet Revenge from writer/director Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn) and a panel-exclusive message from the set of Crystal Lake,...

Dread Central has learned from reliable production insiders that Schuyler White, a seasoned creature and stunt performer, is in talks to appear as adult Jason Voorhees in Crystal Lake, the forthcoming Friday the 13th prequel series from Peacock and A24. While Peacock has not officially confirmed the casting, this would mark the first news of an adult Jason appearing in the series.

Two other significant castings have been confirmed: Linda Cardellini will portray Pamela Voorhees, and Callum Vinson is set to play young Jason, the boy whose fate was the catalyst for the entire Voorhees legacy.

Notably, Crystal Lake has undergone a major creative shift. Original showrunner Bryan Fuller exited the project amid reported creative differences. Brad Caleb Kane (known for the upcoming HBO Max series It: Welcome to Derry) has since taken over as creator and lead showrunner. The series has been retooled under Kane’s vision.

Linda Cardellini,...

Crystal Lake, the upcoming Peacock horror series and prequel to the iconic Friday the 13th franchise, is officially in production, and the cast is shaping up to be killer.

The A24-produced series, created by Brad Caleb Kane, is currently filming in New Jersey as of June of 2025, and is expected to continue through October.

The series promises to explore Jason’s early years, his relationship with his mother Pamela, and the dark mythology behind the infamous camp.

With several series regulars now confirmed, it’s time to break down which stars are joining the blood-soaked action, and what roles they’ll be playing.

Friday the 13th fans worried that Jason Voorhees may not show up in Peacock's prequel series Crystal Lake will be happy to know that a new actor has been cast in the role, well, as young Jason, at least. It was just announced that Callum Vinson will be the next Jason.

Vinson's previous roles include the TV series Chucky and Long Bright River. Peacock's prequel series is being created in partnership with A24. It will primarily follow the story of Jason's mom, Pamela Voorhees, who avenged her special needs son after he drowned. Linda Cardellini has been cast as Pamela. The prequel series is named after the town and summer camp where most of the movies occur and where Jason drowned. Because Vinson is billed as a reoccurring guest star, it's unclear how many episodes he'll appear in, especially since the series focuses on Pamela. Most likely, we'll see scenes...

Deadline (via FearHQ.com) has revealed that A24's Crystal Lake TV series has found its Jason Voorhees in Chucky and Long Bright River star Callum Vinson. The actor, born in 2014, will play the child version of the terrifying serial killer, as the show shifts the spotlight to his mother, Linda Cardellini's Pamela Voorhees.

It's previously been reported that Pamela will be portrayed as a mother who gave up a singing career to raise a special needs child. Things take a dark turn when Jason drowns at summer camp—the titular "Crystal Lake"—prompting Pamela to go on a killing spree, making the camp counsellors pay for their negligence.

However, when the young Jason witnesses one of the camp counsellors decapitating his mom, he's inspired to go on a murder spree of his own. There's a supernatural element to the character, but it's thought he survived that apparent drowning...

The Friday the 13th prequel series that’s in the works at Peacock with A24, just slashed out of the woods with a major update. Deadline reports that Callum Vinson, best known for his role as Henry Collins in the Chucky franchise, has joined the cast of Crystal Lake as a young Jason Vorhees. Vinson’s role will reportedly be in the guest capacity, featuring only briefly — the project is about Jason’s mother, Pamela Vorhees. Linda Cardellini has been tapped to play the featured role of Pamela in the series. The new show is set in Crystal Lake, and it will follow Pamela as she goes on a violent killing spree after watching her son drown in the lake. Jason watches his mother lose her head to end her killing spree, which is what leads him down his own murderous path.

Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel series taking shape at Peacock, has cast the actor playing Jason — who will not be fitted with a hockey mask anytime soon.

Callum Vinson (Long Bright River, The Night Agent) will play the young Jason in the show. He’s one of five actors who have joined the cast in recurring roles, along with Nick Cordileone, Joy Suprano, Danielle Kotch and Phoenix Parnevik.

The A24-produced Crystal Lake stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees, Jason’s mother, who (45-year-old spoiler alert) is responsible for the killings in the first Friday the 13th movie before her unkillable son Jason takes over. William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins and Gwendolyn Sundstrom will also be series regulars, playing characters named Levon Brooks, Briana Brooks, Dorf and Grace. Details about those characters and the show’s plot are being kept quiet.

Cordileone (Warrior) will play a character named Ralph.

Filming is underway on showrunner Brad Caleb Kane’s “Crystal Lake,” the upcoming Friday the 13th television series from Peacock and A24 that will serve as an expanded prequel to the legendary slasher franchise. And the new Jason Voorhees has boarded the project.

“Chucky” actor Callum Vinson has joined the series as young Jason Voorhees, Deadline reports today.

Vinson, who recently starred as Henry Collins in “Chucky” season three, is billed as a recurring guest star, as this new project focuses on Jason’s mother, Pamela Voorhees. The series’ version of Pamela Voorhees is “believed to be a mother who had given up a singing career to raise a special needs child and takes a dark turn when she loses her son.”

Linda Cardellini stars in “Crystal Lake” as Mrs. Voorhees, who was of course the killer in the original Friday the 13th (1980). She’s joined by William Catlett (Abigail...

Additional cast members include series regulars William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins, and Gwendolyn Sundstrom. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps, aside from the fact that the show will follow Pamela and her life prior to the events of the first “Friday the 13th” movie. It was originally picked up straight to series at Peacock in 2022.

A new Jason Voorhees has joined the Friday the 13th universe, as Callum Vinson boards Peacock’s prequel series Crystal Lake from A24. Brad Caleb Kane serves as creator, writer, showrunner and executive producer of the series.

The hockey mask-wearing serial killer from the big screen is the son of Pamela Voorhees, to be played by Linda Cardellini in the new show. Cardellini’s Pamela is believed to be a mother who gave up a singing career to raise a special needs child and takes a dark turn when she loses her son.

Crystal Lake is a town, a lake, and a summer camp in the franchise, the setting of the series. Voorhees drowned in the lake as a child, which led to his mother’s killing spree at the camp to avenge his “death.” Jason witnessed his mother’s decapitation by a camp counselor, which...

The prequel to the Stephen King universe of movies It, It: Welcome to Derry, will release during the spooky season.

Filming kicked off last month on “Crystal Lake,” the upcoming Friday the 13th television series from Peacock and A24 that will serve as an expanded prequel to the legendary slasher franchise. It’s shooting under the faux title “Mama’s Boy,” and showrunner Brad Caleb Kane’s Instagram account has become our go-to source for behind the scenes updates.

Caleb Kane shared a set photo this morning that quite literally takes us into the woods of Crystal Lake, with a cabin seen off in the distance. It almost looks like a shot from the point-of-view of Mrs. Voorhees, who will no doubt be slaying camp counselors in the Peacock series.

Showrunner Brad Caleb Kane captions the photo, “The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I’ve got promises to keep, and folks to kill before I sleep.” Check out the Instagram post below.

Stay tuned for more “Crystal Lake” updates in the coming months!

The world of Friday the 13th is getting a new expansion, and Peacock is pulling out all the stops. The much-anticipated prequel series, Crystal Lake, has just added three fresh names to its growing cast for its upcoming show, which fans believe will be a terrifying and character-driven return to Camp Blood.

Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins, and Gwendolyn Sundstrom are the newest names added to the cast of Crystal Lake, joining Linda Cardellini, who was announced earlier and will be playing Pamela Voorhees, Jason Voorhees’ mother in the series. Scoggins is set to play Officer Dorf, a character who had a small role in the original Friday the 13th film but is expected to have a much bigger presence in this reimagined version. As for Kessler and Sundstrom, they will take on brand-new roles as Briana Brooks and Grace.

The cast of Crystal Lake is big and packed with talent,...

Jason Voorhees is immortal, so it's only right that his story lives on through the Friday the 13th franchise, which includes classic films, television shows, fan-made graphics, and more. Horror lovers got their first dose of the fictional icon in 1980, and not during Halloween season. The film was released in May and turned the month of warm weather and outside festivities into bloody screams and a fear of visiting lakes with a group of people. It wasn't just any lake that Jason marked as his territory; it was Crystal Lake, which became the latest name for Peacock and A24'sFriday the 13th series. Creator, writer, and showrunner Brad Caleb Kane has been providing updates on his Instagram about the new show, and recently revealed where it stands.

In a recent Instagram post, Kane shared a picture of a production slate, also known as a clapperboard, with the caption, "Production Day 1. It's real,...

Big news has been revealed for fans of the Friday the 13th franchise, just days after celebrating a real Friday the 13th this month. The long-gestating prequel series, Crystal Lake, has finally started filming after having some hiccups with pre-production.

On Instagram, series showrunner Brad Caleb Kane shared a new photo straight from the set of Crystal Lake. In the caption, Kane wrote, "Production Day 1. It's real, folks." The picture reveals a look at the filming slate being used on the set, which features the logo for the project's code name: "Mama's Boy." Check out the post below.

The "Mama's Boy" code name will make perfect sense to fans of the franchise. In the first Friday the 13th film, the killer was revealed to be Pamela Voorhees (Betsy Palmer), who turned to murder in her efforts to keep Camp Crystal Lake closed down.

On Halloween of 2022, it was announced that original Friday the 13th screenwriter Victor Miller – fresh off winning the U.S. copyright to the 1980 film after a lawsuit that stretched on for years – was teaming up with his lawyer Marc Toberoff, franchise rights holder Rob Barsamian, production company A24, the Peacock streaming service, and showrunner Bryan Fuller (whose credits include Hannibal and Pushing Daisies) to develop a new Friday the 13th streaming series called Crystal Lake. Things were moving ahead at a good pace, filming was expected to begin last July, but then the project hit a speed bump at the end of April with the firing of Fuller and his frequent collaborator Jim Danger Gray. Things got back on track in late August with the hiring of a new showrunner – and that person is Brad Caleb Kane, who also serves as co-showrunner and executive producer of It: Welcome to Derry,...

Showrunner Brad Caleb Kane has announced today that filming is now officially underway on “Crystal Lake,” the upcoming Friday the 13th television series from Peacock and A24 that will serve as an expanded prequel to the legendary slasher franchise. The series, it’s amusing to note, is shooting under the faux title “Mama’s Boy,” which seems only fitting!

Brad Caleb Kane captions a behind the scenes photo shared out on his Instagram page this afternoon (below), “Production Day 1. It’s real, folks.” Stay tuned for more updates.

The episode currently in production is directed by Michael Lennox (“Derry Girls”), with the slate listing Maceo Bishop as the cinematographer.

Linda Cardellini stars in “Crystal Lake” as Mrs. Voorhees, who was of course the killer in the original Friday the 13th (1980). She’s joined by William Catlett (Abigail), Cameron Scoggins (“Nashville”), Devin Kessler (“Godfather of Harlem”), and Gwendolyn Sundstrom. Scoggins will play Dorf,...

Well horror fans, the day has finally come. After the pure production hell and misfortune that seemed to plague Crystal Lake, also known as the Friday the 13th prequel series, its showrunner, Brad Caleb Kane, took to social media to share an extraordinary update — filming has begun. Sharing an image of a clapperboard along with the title’s code name, Mama’s Boy, Kane wrote “Production Day 1. It’s real folks.” It sure is real, and we can’t wait to see the slasher back on screen after 16 — that’s right, sixteen — years. Also included on the board was the name of the episode’s director, Michael Lennox, who previously stood at the helm of television shows like Say Nothing and Derry Girls.

This won’t be your typical Friday the 13th installment in which Jason Vorhees dons a hockey mask and chops down a hoard of unsuspecting victims. As the name suggests,...

New cast members have been revealed for Crystal Lake, the upcoming series at Peacock that serves as a prequel to Friday the 13th. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the new additions were announced on Friday, June 13th.

Per Deadline, newcomers joining the cast in lead roles include Devin Kessler (Godfather of Harlem), Cameron Scoggins (Shades of Blue), and Gwendolyn Sundstrom. They are respectively playing the roles of Briana Brooks, Dorf, and Grace, though no other details have been shared about their characters. Previously, it was reported that William Catlett is playing the role of Levon Brooks, a character who may be related to Kessler's Briana.

Plot details are also unknown, other than that the series will star Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees, Jason's mother. In the original Friday the 13th, Pamela (Betsy Palmer) is revealed to be the killer in the end, murdering camp counselors in an effort to keep Camp Crystal Lake from reopening.

Cameron Scoggins (“Nashville”), Devin Kessler (“Godfather of Harlem”), and newcomer Gwendolyn Sundstrom have joined “Crystal Lake” as series regulars.

Notably, Scoggins will play Dorf, the police officer portrayed by Ron Millkie in the original Friday the 13th. Kessler will play Briana Brooks and Sundstrom will play Grace.

They join the previously announced Linda Cardellini (Scooby-D00) as Mrs. Voorhees and William Catlett (Abigail) as Levon Brooks in the expanded prequel series from A24 and Peacock.

The eight-episode series is set to be directed by Michael Lennox (“Derry Girls”), Celine Held & Logan George (Caddo Lake), and Quyen Tran (“The Pitt”).

In the show, Mrs. Voorhees is a mother who gave up a singing career to raise her special needs child, only to take a dark turn when she loses her son — Jason Voorhees.

Showrunner Brad Caleb Kane referred to Scoggins as “one of many” legacy from the original film to appear in the series,...

Peacock’s Crystal Lake rounds out its series regular cast with the addition of Devin Kessler (Godfather of Harlem), Cameron Scoggins, and Gwendolyn Sundstrom.

They join the previously announced stars Linda Cardellini and William Catlett in the Friday the 13th prequel series from Brad Caleb Kane, who will also serve as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. The show’s premise is being kept under wraps.

Cardellini will play Pamela Voorhees, mother of masked killer Jason Voorhees—as in, chee chee chee, ah, ah, ah—who was believed to have drowned as a boy in Crystal Lake but emerges years later seeking revenge for the murder of his serial killer mommy, Pamela. Betsy Palmer played the female antagonist in the first Friday the 13th film, released in 1980. The role has subsequently been played by Marilyn Poucher, Paula Shaw, and Nana Visitor in various sequels, crossovers, and reboot movies.

Friday the 13th entered our lives when it hit movie screens in 1980. The world was introduced to Jason Voorhees and his mother.
