Trailer Time: Our First Look at ‘Crystal Lake’

Who knows when we’ll get a new Friday the 13th film? I sure don’t, but I do know that we’re getting a prequel television series to the original franchise with Crystal Lake, starring the fantastic Linda Cardellini, who recently delivered the goods on D.T.F St. Louis.

In Crystal Lake, Cardellini plays Jason Voorhees’ historically unhinged mother, Pamela. We’ve got our first taste of the series below. It’s set to air on Peacock beginning this coming October.
