After leaking online over the weekend, the first full trailer for Peacock's Friday the 13th prequel series, Crystal Lake, has been officially released along with a new poster featuring Pamela Voorhees and her "special boy."
The trailer introduces Pamela (Linda Cardellini), who witnesses her badly deformed son Jason drowning (or appearing to drown) and sets out to exact bloody revenge on the teens who were supposed to be watching him.
We had been led to believe that Pamela would be handling the killing duties alone, but this teaser features a quick glimpse of what looks a lot like "Sackhead" Jason (the character didn't actually don the iconic hockey mask until Friday the 13th Part 3) running through the forest. There are also another couple of shots of a young Jason in the background.
Will we see an adult Jason pick up a machete/pickaxe in this first season? It certainly appears so.
That line about "what the good people of Crystal Lake would say if they knew who you and Jason really were" and the shot of the yellow door have led to speculation that Jason may turn out to be some kind of failed Government super-weapon. Jason is traditionally depicted as a supernatural "zombie," but the expanded universe leans into genetic experimentation as an explanation for his apparent inability to be killed.
During an interview with Empire, showrunner Brad Caleb Kane revealed that the series takes place eight years before the events of the first Friday movie.
“Pam is a cook at Camp Crystal Lake, Jason is an eleven-year-old camper participating in all activities despite his physical limitations, and his mom is absolutely intent on making sure he has a normal summer outdoors with other kids… but with ultimately tragic consequences," says Kane. "Things take some twists and turns on the way to Pam’s total psychotic break and subsequent bloody rampage.".
Check out the poster and trailer below, along with a new still of Pamela via Empire.
