CRYSTAL LAKE: Peacock Orders FRIDAY THE 13TH Prequel Series

Peacock has ordered CRYSTAL LAKE, a FRIDAY THE 13TH prequel series. Bryan Fuller will serve as writer/showrunner. Details about the show are being kept quiet.

“FRIDAY THE 13TH is one of the most iconic horror franchises in movie history and we were dying to revisit this story with our upcoming drama series CRYSTAL LAKE,” said Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, in a statement. “We can’t wait to get to work with Bryan Fuller, a gifted, visionary creator who I’ve had the pleasure of being a longtime friend and collaborator, along with our incredible partners at A24, in this updated version for Peacock that will thrill long-standing fans of the franchise.”

“I discovered FRIDAY THE 13TH in the pages of Famous Monsters magazine when I was 10 years old and I have been thinking about this story ever since,” added Fuller. “When it comes to horror, A24 raises the bar and pushes the envelope and I’m thrilled to be exploring the camp grounds of CRYSTAL LAKE under their banner. And Susan Rovner is simply the best at what she does. It’s a pleasure and an honor to be working with her again.”
