“Friday the 13th” Series Heading to the CW?
I don’t know what’s going on over the CW- it’s either a renaissance or they’re developing out tons of awful teen-based horror series (from “Tales From the Darkside” to “Colony”, “Dead People” and “Cheerleader Death Squad”).
Sean Cunningham, the creator and director of the 1980 Friday the 13th, attended the Monster Mania convention this weekend in New Jersey where he revealed the CW may be interested in the new “Friday the 13th” television series.
Here’s what F13franchise says:
“Sean Cunningham confirmed interest from the CW in regards to pickup for the tv show. According to him, the basic premise focuses on the REAL city of Crystal Lake, and the effect that the serialized films had on its real life counterpart. This allows them to reimagine Jason in a more grounded reality, as the films would be based off the real life killings that took place at the Camp. (ie, both the Hockey Masked Jason and a more serious backwoods inspired killer will be making appearances throughout).”
The idea that Crystal Lake is a cursed town where there are multiple murderers is a really interesting arc, although does that diminish the lore of Jason Vorhees? I think that, if he’s not the centerpiece of the series, it makes him “just another” serial killer, which is lame. But until I know exactly what they’re developing, it’s impossible to judge. Frankly, just seeing the Voorhees back on TV is enough for me.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
