Sixteen years after Jason Voorhees last stalked the screen, the 'Friday the 13th' franchise is back from the dead — and bloodier than ever. 

The cult horror series, which began in 1980 and spawned countless sequels, cemented Jason as one of cinema's most iconic killers, known for his hockey mask, machete, and unstoppable thirst for revenge.

A24 and Peacock have officially wrapped production on their TV series 'Crystal Lake', a chilling prequel that dives deep into the origins of cinema's most infamous slasher. 

Leading the cast is 'Dead to Me' star Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees — the overprotective mother whose twisted love for her son sparks a legacy of terror. The series promises to unearth the haunting beginnings of Jason's descent into madness, long before the hockey mask and machete.

Crystal Lake promises a blood-soaked return to the cursed camp that terrified generations of horror fans, reimagining Jason's early life before his fateful drowning. With A24 steering the project, fans are hoping Crystal Lake delivers the atmospheric horror and emotional depth worthy of the franchise's legacy.
