On the eve of Halloween, Peacock announced a prequel series on the popular horror film franchise ‘Friday the 13th‘ titled ‘Crystal Lake.’
It will be produced by A24, a studio known for backing amazing indie flicks. Fuller has been the television creator behind shows like ‘American Gods’ and ‘Star Trek: Discovery’.
While there is no official announcement on its cast and release date, the series is expected to chronicle the events of how camp crystal lake came to be.
The popular franchise was tangled in complex rights deals as it moved from Paramount to New Line.
This resulted in a years-long copyright dispute between the first film’s director-producer Sean S. Cunningham and original screenwriter Victor Miller.
