A24 and Peacock have teamed up for a new series set in the terrifying world of Jason Voorhies and Friday the 13th.

A prequel to the Friday the 13th franchise, the series follows single mother Pam Voorhees who has been unable to shake her grief after her young, sickly son Jason tragically drowned in the town lake almost a year before. When two strangers arrive at Pam’s door digging into her past, a disturbing chain of events is set into motion, leaving the townspeople of Crystal Lake wondering: just who is Pam Voorhees?

Crystal Lake is executive produced and created by Brad Caleb Kane (It: Welcome to Derry, Tokyo Vice, Warrior) who will also act as writer and showrunner. The series stars Linda Cardellini, William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins, Gwendolyn Sundstrom,  Callum Vinson, Nick Cordileone, Joy Suprano, Danielle Kotch and Phoenix Parnevik.

The episodes will be directed by Michael Lennox (101-103), Celine Held & Logan George (104-106) and Quyen Tran (107-108).

Crystal Lake premieres on Peacock October 15, 2026.
