The Big Picture It was another rough time to be a Friday the 13th fan last week when it was announced that showrunner Bryan Fuller was leaving Crystal Lake. The A24 prequel series that was set to debut on Peacock later this year is now being reworked. That means many of the previous teases for the slasher show remain up in the air. Through this change in direction, we’re now learning some more of the genre talent that was involved in the project.
Replying to Fuller’s disappointing announcement on X late last week, Williamson said that he was set to direct one of the episodes of Crystal Lake. “Bummin’ hard, so sorry I won’t be a part of what would have been an epic Bryan Fuller show.” He would go on to say, “Your pilot was so beautifully realized. A gorgeous portait of a mother unraveling in her grief.
What Was ‘Crystal Lake’ About? Close Before Crystal Lake lost its showrunner, the series was set to be a prequel exploring more of both Pamela and Jason Voorhees. That’s something that Williamson teased with his latest comments. Many mainstream horror fans forget that Jason wasn’t introduced as the killer until Friday the 13th Part 2 in 1981 and that his mother was the killer in the original slasher classic.
What’s Next For ‘Friday the 13th’? For Crystal Lake, the next move for A24 and Peacock is to find another showrunner. Because of that, don’t expect the series to debut in 2024 anymore. The Friday the 13th franchise hasn’t had a film since the 2009 remake. There has been some light at the end of this horrific tunnel with Crystal Lake and rumblings of a new film, but Friday the 13th fans are going to have to wait a little longer for Jason’s deadly return.
