Peacock has finally confirmed the release date for Friday the 13th’s upcoming prequel series, Crystal Lake<\/a>. After decades in development hell, Crystal Lake will finally release on Peacock on October 15, 2026. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Linda Cardellini will star as Pamela Voorhees, while Callum Vinson will play her son and iconic horror villain: Jason Voorhees. Vinson is also set to play Atreus in the upcoming God of War TV series<\/a> on Prime Video. <\/p>\n

Exact plot details are under wraps, but it’s expected that the show will follow the Voorhees family before Jason drowns in the lake and the treacherous events that follow. The show will have eight episodes, but it’s unclear if Peacock has larger multi-season plans in store for the show. <\/p>\n

The origins of the series date back to the early 2000s, when Friday the 13th director Sean S. Cunningham suggested he was interested in a coming-of-age spin-off show set around the town of Crystal Lake, akin to a show like Smallville or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show was eventually developed for The CW, who passed on the show after feeling it was too dark and was unsustainable as a long-running TV series.<\/p>\n
