It has now been a full 13 years since the release of the last Friday the 13th movie, with the franchise trapped in a messy legal battle ever since. FINALLY, the wait is almost over…

Variety has made the hugely surprising announcement today that Peacock has ordered up “Crystal Lake,” a Friday the 13th prequel series from Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”)!

The craziest part of this huge news? A24 will serve as the studio behind the series!

Overrated franchise but this looks exciting 

[Jay L]

The best horror franchise getting a revival with A24  we will be streaming 

[GraceRandolph]

Can we just get a new movie with Jason? I’m not interested in some camp counselor bs. 

[Subzero]

First thing that came to mind was Freeforms "Dead Of Summer" which wasn't that good but I enjoyed it for what it was and this is massive franchise so this could turn out to be really fun as a series! I hope they don't mess it up 

[Gossip_Boy]

Peacock? Not the bottom of the barrel of streaming services.
 

Well I’ll be one of the 30 people streaming this.

a24 will be serving arts before the charts tho

Friday the 13th is basically all garbage besides Freddy Vs Jason. Maybe A24 can change that

[Airhead]

hmmm.

[genetic fail]

Smart move. So it looks like Mrs. Voorhees will be doing all the killings again

[Rachel Berry]

Bryan Fuller and A24? A horror masterpiece is upon us.  Pamela Voorhees is coming to show the new girls how it’s done.

[QueenBLadyG]

This is about to be something special.

This is one way to get around the Jason rights issue I guess… but nobody wants Friday without the killings and especially without Jason, so you’d think the studio would just pay the man what he is owed and move on. A new, good Friday film with Jason could do 150 million EASILY

Bryan Fuller just confirmed that they can use everything.

So, for starters, what characters and locations and whatnot are you allowed to use from the Friday the 13th franchise?

Everything. We can use everything. We can go to Hell, we can go to space. That's not to say that we will do those things ... although if we do go 10 seasons, I will be lobbying hard to go to space.

 

A24 and Marc Toberoff, who is Victor Miller's lawyer, have beautifully and excruciatingly assembled all of the Friday the 13th rights. As a streaming series, we have the rights to do everything underneath the Friday the 13thumbrella. The movie rights are a completely different thing. They are tied up at New Line and are super, super messy and probably won't be untangled anytime soon, but as far as us chickens in the television industry, uh, roost, we have access to anything and everything that Friday the 13th has done up until this point.

So why are they going this route when it’s clearly not going to be successful? It truly makes no sense. A new Jason movie could be as big as Halloween. Maybe they’ll do both and the movie will promote the show but it’s so weird to do a prequel show when a reboot movie is so anticipated.

Movie rights are different for series rights especially since it’s on a streaming platform. Personally, I’d rather have this than a film. The F13 movies aren’t exactly known for its quality anyway.

Also, it’s Bryan Fuller, creator of the Hannibal series, plus A24, so I know it’s in good hands.

Jason is finally going to show all the other girls how it's done

What the hell is that picture?
