Ok, sure, it may not be Friday the 13th, but it's Monday the 13th, and that's close enough for Peacock to unveil the first teaser and first look images for slasher prequel series Crystal Lake, premiering later this year on October 15. Jean shorts at the ready:
The new Friday the 13th prequel series, hailing from A24 and set to stream on Peacock, stars Callum Vinson as a young Jason and Linda Cardellini as murder mommy Pamela Voorhees. The show is set prior to the accident that made Voorhees the killer we all know and love today.
Brad Caleb Kane, (It: Welcome to Derry) serves as writer, showrunner and executive producer on the camp-set series, with Victor Miller (original Friday the 13th scribe) onboard as an executive producer along with Marc Toberoff, Robert M. Barsamian, Robert P. Barsamian, and Stuart Manashil.
Joining Vinson and Cardellini are William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins in a major legacy role, Gwendolyn Sundstrom, Nick Cordileone, Danielle Kotch, Phoenix Parnevik, Nancy Nagrant, and Joy Suprano, with Michael Lennox, Celine Held and Logan George, and Quyen Tran directing episodes.
