The Friday the 13th franchise is finally getting set to return to the screen with “Crystal Lake,” an upcoming prequel television series from A24, Peacock and Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”) that’s miraculously able to use any and all existing elements from the franchise.
As we recently learned, original Friday final girl Adrienne King will have a recurring role in the series, and King has shared two updates via social media in recent days.
In one post to Twitter, King shares a behind-the-scenes photo from her first writers meeting, while a post to Instagram suggests that the series is aiming for a 2024 premiere.
King writes on IG, “Happy Friday Campers! Bryan Fuller, our bloody brilliant Head Counselor/ Producer of CRYSTAL LAKE, the upcoming series & I had another exciting meeting filling me in on what’s in store for us at Camp Blood! Always a joy & can’t wait until I’m able share some details!” King’s Instagram post includes the hashtag, “#Coming2024.”
Check out the two updates below and expect more soon.
Peacock has given the project a straight-to-series order, with “Crystal Lake” being described as an “expanded prequel” to the original Friday the 13th franchise.
Variety had detailed, “The show will be written by Bryan Fuller, who is also the showrunner and an executive producer. Victor Miller, who penned the original film in the franchise, will also executive produce along with Marc Toberoff, Rob Barsamian, and A24.”
Kevin Williamson (Scream, Sick) will be writing an episode!
