dpSky confirms Crystal Lake, the highly anticipated new series from A24 and creator, writer, executive producer and showrunner Brad Caleb Kane (It: Welcome to Derry, Tokyo Vice, Warrior) will drop all episodes on Sky and NOW on Monday 19 October.
Expanding the iconic ‘Friday the 13th’ universe, the eight-part series stars Emmy-winner Linda Cardellini (DTF St. Louis, Dead To Me) and will be available exclusively on Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK and Ireland from this October.
A prequel to the Friday the 13th franchise, Crystal Lake follows single mother Pam Voorhees (Linda Cardellini) who has been unable to shake her grief after her young, sickly son Jason tragically drowned in the town lake almost a year before. When two strangers arrive at Pam’s door digging into her past, a disturbing chain of events is set into motion, leaving the townspeople of Crystal Lake wondering: just who is Pam Voorhees?
Also starring William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins and Gwendolyn Sundstrom, Crystal Lake expands the mythology of one of horror’s most enduring franchises, blending psychological suspense, mystery and emotional storytelling with the legacy that has captivated audiences for generations.
