New Crystal Lake Showrunner Gives Brief Update On Progress Of Friday The 13th Series

This past August, A24 hired their new showrunner Brad Caleb Kane to oversee the Friday The 13th series Crystal Lake. Brad has been busy putting his vision together for the direction of the show and offered a very brief update today on his Instagram page on the progress of the series.

Happy Friday the 13th (to those who celebrate!) wish I could give a more substantial update but mum’s the word. Suffice it to say the story’s been broken, scripts have been and are being written and the goal is to give the fans (including myself) a tense, scary, bloody and satisfying ride that’s well worth the wait. More news to come in the new year.

I have heard that filming is aiming for Summer 2025 with the possibility of first shows airing in Fall 2025, but that has not been announced officially as of yet. There is sure to be more updates made in the first quarter of 2025 about Crystal Lake so stay tuned for more happenings.

Originally anticipated for a 2024 debut, the series' release has been delayed due to the retooling process and the change in creative direction.

A24 and Peacock remain committed to the series with assurances that it is moving forward, albeit with some changes.
