Friday the 13th is preparing its return. In addition to working on a new film from the 1980 horror saga, Peacock is developing a prequel series titled Crystal Lake, focusing on the famous camp where Jason Voorhees carries out his bloody and macabre murders.
In the film, several young people spend their vacations in a recently reopened summer camp, in which, a few years before, a young man drowned in the lake. In a short time, some of them are found dead.
Since the announcement of the series, very few details have been shared about it beyond the return of the original protagonist Adrienne King, who has finally revealed details through her Instagram:
"Happy Friday Campers! Bryan Fuller, our bloody brilliant Head Counselor/ Producer of Crystal Lake, the upcoming series & I had another exciting meeting filling me on what's in store for us at Camp Blood! Always a joy & can't wait until I'm able share some details!" Friday the 13th and Some Other Horror Franchises With New Beginnings
Many movie classics have had the opportunity, in recent years, to continue their stories or expand their universe, either on the big or on the small screen. Halloween was one of the first ones, managing to move away from the most recent failed attempts to install a new trilogy continuing the original story.
I Know What You Did Last Summer tried to do the same on TV, although with very little success. However, a continuation of the films is in development, with the possible return of the original cast. The one that did manage to shine as a series was Child’s Play, with its creator Don Mancini behind the series, conquering fans once again with Chucky.
Another great example is that of Scream, which in 2022 released the fifth part of the saga and quickly confirmed the sequel, which hit theaters just a few weeks ago and has already become a resounding success, with many calling Scream VI the best one since the first installment.
The one that did not have the same luck was The Chainsaw Massacre, which returned from the hand of Netflix with a movie in 2022 and was very poorly accepted by both critics and fans of the acclaimed 1978 horror film.
