‘Friday the 13th’: Everything we know about the prequel series


    After several years in which ‘Friday the 13th and its legal problems have staged innumerable lawsuits and have been a headache for rights and authorship, it seems that A24 has found a way to bring Jason Voorhees back to us..

    However, unlike his peers Michael Myers, Leatherface and Pinhead, who have had reboots in the form of movies, the chosen format will be the serial, something that the devilish doll Chucky has also explored, for example, recently. After the success of the new trilogy of ‘halloween’ movies it was a matter of time before Jason and ‘Friday the 13th’ returned to the forebut the legal ordeal that their rights have suffered have delayed their return.

    Synopsis of ‘Friday the 13th’, the series

    The new series of the franchise it will be a “remake-prequel”which will tell the story of Jason and Pamela Voorhees before the events of all the ‘Friday the 13th’ movies… Although it will go further.

    Let’s remember that in the first film the killer is Jason’s mothera child who drowned at Camp Crystal Lake due to the negligence of the monitors in his care. In the second installment we already saw an adult Jason slaughtering the camp, but his iconic hockey mask did not appear until the third installmenta.

    At first it seemed that A24 only had the rights to the first film by including Victor Miller, the original screenwriter, as producer. However, it has been known that Rob Barsamian, producer of the franchise, will also be linked to the project, allowing it to I can use the adult Jason in the mask beyond his first film.

    The ‘Friday the 13th’ series features the working title of ‘Crystal Lake’and will be released directly on the platform peacock on a date yet to be defined.

    The showrunner will be the creator of ‘Hannibal‘ Bryan Fuller, who has confirmed to Fangoria who have carte blanche to review the entire ‘Friday the 13th’ franchise: “We can use everything. We can go to hell, we can go to space… That’s not to say we’ll do all of those things…although if we go for 10 seasons, I’ll be pushing hard to go into space. (laughs) As a streaming series, we have the rights to do everything under the ‘Friday the 13th’ umbrella. Movie rights are a completely different thing. They’re tied up in New Line and they’re super, super messy and probably won’t be unraveled any time soon, but as far as we in the TV industry are concerned, we have access to all of ‘Friday the 13th’.”
