New Showrunner Hired For Peacock's Friday The 13th Show Crystal Lake!

Deadline has reported today that A24 has found their next showrunner for the Friday The 13th episodic show Crystal Lake! Peacock will air the weekly show and has hired the new showrunner, who is also the executive producer on the upcoming series It: Welcome To Derry, which is a prequel story for Stephen King's It. Brad Caleb Kane will now serve as the Crystal Lake series' creator, writer, and executive producer. In other word's, he has the keys to the franchise, at least for the television series.

Caleb had this to say about joining the iconic franchise:

“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,” said Kane in a statement on his Crystal Lake hiring. “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.”

 In an interesting twist, and fun bit of trivia, Caleb co-wrote the song Beginning Of the End, which is performed by Spineshank and is featured on the Freddy vs Jason soundtrack. Good luck to Caleb on bringing Friday The 13th to the small screen!
