Teenage Jason Making Appearance In Friday The 13th Prequel Series Crystal Lake

We are all patiently awaiting the first marketing blitz for the new Crystal Lake show from A24 and Peacock, but while we wait, there is a bit of news that we missed during the hoopla of the holidays. Dread Central reported the exclusive that fans will indeed see a teenage version of Jason Voorhees in the show. What does this mean? Perhaps a death or two at the hands of Jason besides Pamela? 

This news does track if you look at the casting of the show so far. It's also been mentioned that teenage Jason Voorhees will appear in the final episode of Season 1! This has not been officially confirmed. 

Stay tuned for more news as it becomes available.

Crystal Lake is an upcoming American horror television series developed as a prequel to the iconic Friday the 13th film franchise. Produced by A24 and set to stream exclusively on Peacock in the U.S and Sky in the U.K and Ireland, it explores the origins of Jason Voorhees and his mother, Pamela Voorhees, in a doomed small town where camp counselors meet grisly fates. The series blends slasher elements with deeper character backstories, including various iterations of Jason familiar to franchise fans, and is described as an "expanded prequel" set primarily in 1970-1971 at Camp Crystal Lake.

The eight-episode series is set to premiere on Peacock in 2026 (no official release date yet).
