‘Crystal Lake’ Rotten Tomatoes Reviews Laud ‘Friday The 13th’ Prequel Series
- On Thursday, the eight-episode series Crystal Lake premieres on Peacock, produced by A24 and showrun by Brad Caleb Kane, starring Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
- The series opens in 1972, eight years before Friday the 13th, following Pamela as she raises her son Jason before his accidental drowning at Camp Crystal Lake.

- Arriving after roughly 23 years of development, the series finally gives fans an "unprecedented window into Jason Voorhees' origin story" as the franchise desperately seeks new content.
