Deadline reports a new showrunner has been hired for A24’s Friday the 13th prequel series. This series was announced back in 2024, called Crystal Lake, the prequel series is being made for Peacock by A24. Now Brad Caleb Kane has been announced as the official showrunner for the show.
Kane said in a statement, “From the moment I watched Jason Voorhees squeeze a guy’s eyeball out of its socket (in glorious 3D!) at the tender age of 8 years old, I knew my creative path was someday destined to converge with The Man Behind The Mask. Nothing defined my childhood more than growing up in the golden age of the slasher flick, and nothing’s defined the genre more than Friday The 13th. I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity to contribute a chapter to this iconic franchise, particularly with such fearless partners as Peacock and A24.”
