It’s been real quiet on the news front for Peacock and A24’s Crystal Lake streaming series that was announced on Halloween 2022. It was a huge deal coming on the heals of the resolved litigation of the franchise rights between Victor Miller and Horror Inc. The renewed hope that fans could get a new project soon was exciting, however, there has been no official announcements for the show since January 2023 and something was just revealed that is extremely disappointing.
Entertainment reporter Jeff Sneider just dropped some unsettling news that A24 has pulled the plug on the Crystal Lake show.
I’m hearing that A24 has pulled the plug on Crystal Lake, its planned Peacock series based on the Friday the 13th franchise featuring masked killer Jason Voorhees. Bryan Fuller was due to executive produce the horror series.
It’s unclear whether this is a permanent decision or a temporary one, as A24 had no comment. Perhaps Peacock will help the trades shed more light on this project, which was announced back in 2022.
It is still not clear if Peacock can still find another production partner for the show or what the specifics may be on why A24 has halted their involvement, but I am sure we are going to hear more about this within the next day or so.
