It has been previously reported on various platforms that A24 has pulled out of the prequel to the Friday the 13th franchise, Crystal Lake.  However, that is not the case after all.

Jeff Sneider reported in his newsletter The Insneider late last night that A24 has “pulled the plug” on the Crystal Lake series, which was due to begin filming sometime this year.

Sneider writes in last night’s exclusive report, “It’s unclear whether this is a permanent decision or a temporary one, as A24 had no comment. Perhaps Peacock will help the trades shed more light on this project, which was announced back in 2022.”

According to sources, A24 has NOT killed off Crystal Lake at this time. We have confirmed the show is still happening, but there is indeed some retooling of the project happening behind the scenes.

Peacock had given the project a straight-to-series order in 2022, with Crystal Lake being described as an “expanded prequel” to the original Friday the 13th franchise featuring both Jason Voorhees and his mother, Pamela Voorhees. Original Friday the 13th final girl Adrienne King had even signed on for a recurring role in the planned A24 television series.

Bryan Fuller was to serve as writer, showrunner, and executive producer, with Victor Miller (who penned the original classic) producing with Marc Toberoff, Rob Barsamian, and A24.

Kevin Williamson (Scream, Sick) was on board to write an episode, the last we heard.  Stay tuned for more news as it becomes available!
