Peacock's Friday The 13th Streaming Series 'Crystal Lake' Filming In Familiar Setting This Summer?

 Last week, Crystal Lake series showrunner Brad Caleb Kane posted on Instagram that the series is now in pre-production, and that is great news for Friday The 13th fans that have waited over fifteen years to get new official content to consume. This is a new trip back to Crystal Lake and it should be interesting to see how it all began. Not a lot is known about the plot of the first season of the show since the series changed direction after Bryan Fuller left the project and Brad was brought on to continue the show.

With all of that being said, we do know that Linda Cadellini will be portraying Mrs. Voorhees and this will be a prequel story. We have reported in the past that filming is scheduled to begin this Summer, but where exactly where this filming take place? Well, we were recently tipped off about a casting call that was recently put out for background extras for a streaming series that is filming in New Jersey! That's right it is looking very likely that Crystal Lake will be represented in the state where it all began 45 years ago.

Most of our readers know that the original film was shot in Blairstown, New Jersey as well as surrounding communities. The open casting call found at Project Casting shares the following information.

Background Talent Needed for 1970s-Themed Streaming Series

Job Description

A new streaming series set in the 1970s is seeking background actors to help bring the decade to life on screen. Filming will take place in New Jersey from late June through October 2025. Talent should have a natural, vintage-friendly look that reflects the era—think long hair, no visible tattoos, and no modern hairstyles or piercings.

The dates for this casting call definitely fits the Summer shooting schedule we confirmed for the show. This, of course, is not officially confirmed, but it is very likely part of production for the series Crystal Lake. If this is officially confirmed, we will let everyone know. Could we see some familiar settings revisited for the show? We will definitely be waiting to find out.
