Peacock TV has announced that the long-dormant Friday the 13th horror franchise will return with the A24-produced prequel series Crystal Lake – scheduled to premiere on October 15, 2026. With Brad Caleb Kane as showrunner and Linda Cardellini starring as Pamela Voorhees, the series will explore a young Jason’s life prior to the events of the original 1980 film.

The Hollywood Reporter's Aaron Couch hops on a Zoom call with Curry Barker – who after a spectacular $17.2 million domestic box office debut for OBSESSION, has solidified his status as Hollywood’s most in-demand young genre filmmaker. Despite securing a major A24 deal to helm the next TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and wrapping the star-studded ANYTHING BUT GHOSTS for rival horror titans Jason Blum and Roy Lee, Barker remains grounded – still preferring to edit his films from his own bedroom.

Over the past year, the Gen Z auteur has become the most in-demand 20-something filmmaker in Hollywood, with 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' waiting in the wings and the Jason Blum, Roy Lee production 'Anything But Ghosts' already shot.
