Jason Voorhees wearing his hockey mask in a Friday the 13th movie
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel series, suffers a setback with the exit of its showrunners. It was announced in 2022 that Peacock was moving forward on a TV prequel to the iconic Jason Voorhees movie franchise, which began with the 1980 movie directed by Sean Cunningham.
He goes on to mention that he's proud of what he's accomplished with showrunner Jim Danger Gray, who has collaborated with Fuller in the past. The post concludes with the following: “For reasons beyond our control, A24 has elected to go a different way with the material.” Reports have since noted that work on Crystal Lake continues, and a search for a new showrunner is underway.
The Peacock show came about as the result of a complicated Friday the 13th legal battle involving Toberoff, Miller, and Barsamian. The case saw Miller winning the rights to the character, which allowed him to license the prequel series. But well over a year after the project was announced, it had only been announced that Adrienne King, who played Alice Hardy in the original film, had been cast in an undisclosed recurring role.
