Crystal Lake is an upcoming horror streaming series, serving as an origin story for Jason Voorhees and a prequel to the Friday the 13th franchise. The series, which will stream exclusively on Peacock, is scheduled to be released October 2025.
Development
On October 31, 2022, a Friday the 13th prequel was announced, titled Crystal Lake. It will be written and produced by Bryan Fuller and Victor Miller, along with executive producers Marc Toberoff and Rob Barsamian.
A24 will serve as the studio behind the series and will air on Peacock. In January 2023, Adrienne King was cast in a recurring undisclosed role. She previously portrayed Alice Hardy in the 1980 original film. Writing for the series was slated to begin in late January 2023 with Kevin Williamson writing one episode for season one, but production was delayed by the Writers Guild of America strike from May 2 to September 27, and the SAG-AFTRA strike from July 4 to November 9.
In May 2024, it was announced that Fuller was fired as the showrunner. He was replaced by Brad Caleb Kane in August 2024.
In September 2024, Sean Cunningham announced filming will begin in Australia at the end of the year and is aiming for a Halloween 2025 release.
In March 2025, it was announced that Linda Cardellini was cast in a lead role as Pamela Voorhees.[1]
