Just in time for Halloween, Peacock has announced that it is developing 'Crystal Lake,' a prequel series based on the hit horror movie franchise, #Fridaythe13th thr.cm/YtLnEpk Image
#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 Image
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 ImageImageImageImage
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 Image
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
