I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this Friday the 13th than with the first official look at Peacock’s upcoming Friday the 13th prequel series, “Crystal Lake.”

Produced by A24 and created by showrunner Brad Caleb Kane (“IT: Welcome to Derry”), the “Crystal Lake” series is slated to premiere later this year on Peacock.

Linda Cardellini stars in “Crystal Lake” as Pamela Voorhees, a mother who gave up a singing career to raise her special needs child, only to take a dark turn when she loses her son — Jason.

William Catlett (Abigail), Cameron Scoggins (“Nashville”), Devin Kessler (“Godfather of Harlem”), and Gwendolyn Sundstrom also star, with Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) as young Jason Voorhees.

The cast also includes Nick Cordileone (“Warrior”), Joy Suprano (“Fleishman Is in Trouble”), Danielle Kotch (Sinister), Christopher Denham (“Shining Girls”), Nancy Nagrant (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), and Phoenix Parnevik.

The eight-episode series is set to be directed by Michael Lennox (“Derry Girls”), Celine Held & Logan George (Caddo Lake), and Quyen Tran (“The Pitt”).

“It’s a paranoid ’70s thriller,” Brad Caleb Kane previously said of the show. “It has all of the DNA of a slasher without quite being a slasher. There are rivers of blood in the show. There are very, I think, ingenious kill sequences and deaths and murders, but it’s all done in service of character and theme and place and time.”

2026 has one more Friday the 13th coming up in November — that could be a good candidate for a premiere (or finale). Stay tuned for more on “Crystal Lake” as we learn it.
