Crystal Lake<\/a>, the upcoming Friday the 13th prequel series, wrapped production<\/a> in October. We don\u2019t know all that much about the series, but creator Brad Caleb Kane recently dropped a few details while speaking with Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, including that it will contain \u201crivers of blood.\u201d That\u2019s good, because I can only imagine how fans would feel about a bloodless Friday the 13th story.<\/p>\n

Kane Teases Crystal Lake as a Paranoid \u201970s Thriller<\/p>\n

\u201cIn many ways, it\u2019s a psychological thriller. It\u2019s a paranoid \u201970s thriller,\u201d Kane said. \u201cIt has all of the DNA of a slasher without quite being a slasher. There are rivers of blood in the show. There are very, I think, ingenious kill sequences and deaths and murders, but it\u2019s all done in service of character and theme and place and time.\u201c<\/p>\n

The series stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees<\/a>. As most of us know, Pamela was the killer in the original Friday the 13th movie. She was seeking revenge on the counsellors trying to reopen Camp Crystal Lake after her son Jason drowned at the camp years prior. \u201cShe\u2019s gonna shock and surprise a lot of people,\u201d Kane said of Cardellini\u2019s performance. \u201cI think she\u2019s gonna get a lot of attention for this role. She\u2019s inconceivably brilliant in it. I can\u2019t really say any more.\u201c<\/p>\n

Kane continued, \u201cI tried to think about Crystal Lake and a Friday the 13th prequel as, \u2018What era did the first movie come out of?’\u201d Kane explains. \u201cIt came out of the paranoid \u201970s thriller era. It came out of the mistrust-of-institutions era. It came out of the women\u2019s lib era, the National Organization for Women era, this consciousness-raising awakening era in America. I wanted to go and play with all of those themes.\u201c<\/p>\n

Who Else Stars in Crystal Lake?<\/p>\n

In addition to Cardellini, Crystal Lake also stars William Catlett (Abigail) as Levon Brooks, Devin Kessler (Godfather of Harlem) as Briana Brooks, Cameron Scoggins (Shades of Blue) as Dorf, and Gwendolyn Sundstrom (newcomer) as Grace. Callum Vinson also appears as young Jason Voorhees<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crystal Lake doesn\u2019t have an official release date yet, but it\u2019s expected to debut on Peacock sometime in 2026. I\u2019m honestly not sure what to think of the series. Friday the 13th fans have been starved for anything involving the franchise for years, and personally, that Sweet Revenge short film<\/a> didn\u2019t do much to scratch the itch. I\u2019m keeping my fingers crossed for Crystal Lake.<\/p>\n
