‘Crystal Lake’: First Look at Peacock’s ‘Friday the 13th’ Series!
It’s Friday the 13th, and Peacock has just shared the first-ever look at Crystal Lake, its upcoming slasher series exploring the origins of Jason Voorhees from the famed Friday the 13th films.
Based on the slasher series begun by Sean S. Cunningham in 1980, Crystal Lake follows a doomed small town where camp counselors come to die. It tells the origins of the Voorhees family and leads up to the “birth” of the ultimate slasher: Jason.
The images are a perfect tease: one appears to show the hand of Pamela Voorhees (played by Linda Cardellini) holding a knife; another captures the eerie atmosphere of Crystal Lake; and the last seems to depict either two counselors having sex… or are they two dead bodies lying on top of each other? I’m excited.
The brand-new show stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees and includes earlier versions of characters from the original film, such as Crazy Ralph (Nick Cordileone), Claudette (Danielle Kotch), and Barry (Phoenix Parnevik), along with new characters connected to the town’s history.
Crystal Lake has also confirmed the presence of Jason as a child, with Callum Vinson cast as a young Jason Voorhees.
Crystal Lake is overseen by showrunner Brad Caleb Kane, who serves as writer and executive producer. Kane has also worked on the hit HBO prequel series It: Welcome to Derry.
At this moment, Crystal Lake is set to invite campers back sometime in 2026.
