Just in time for Halloween, Peacock has announced that it is developing 'Crystal Lake,' a prequel series based on the hit horror movie franchise, #Fridaythe13ththr.cm/YtLnEpk
#Fridaythe13th is the horror franchise that launched in 1980 and gave the world Jason Voorhees, the hockey-masked slasher who mostly kills in and around the verdant and idyllic grounds of Camp Crystal Lake thr.cm/YtLnEpk
The movies birthed a TV series once before, as well as novels, video games and a host of merchandise as the franchise became part of pop culture thr.cm/YtLnEpk
Bryan Fuller will write, showrun and executive produce the series, which will be produced by A24. “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,” he says thr.cm/YtLnEpk
The Peacock show is being described as a drama and may be likened to #BatesMotel, the A&E series that ran from 2013 to 2017 thr.cm/YtLnEpk
