“The X-Files: Albuquerque”: Animated Spinoff Series in the Works at Fox!
The live-action “The X-Files” series may be no more but the beloved franchise is set to continue with animated series “The X-Files: Albuquerque,” TV Line is reporting today.
“The X-Files” creator Chris Carter is attached to executive produce the “animated comedy series” for Fox. The series will not revolve around Dana Scully and Fox Mulder.
TV Line explains. “Rather, the potential series will center an office full of misfit agents who investigate X-Files cases too wacky, ridiculous or downright dopey for Mulder and Scully to bother with. They’re essentially the X-Files’ B-team.”
The project has been given a script commitment, with Rocky Russo and Jeremy Sosenko (“Paradise PD”) attached to write the pilot episode and executive produce.
Pamela Voorhees gets the spotlight in Friday the 13th prequel series “Crystal Lake,” and EW has unveiled first look images and a teaser that introduce the slasher legend’s origins.
“Crystal Lake” premieres Thursday, October 15 only on Peacock!
The series “begins with the circumstances around that drowning and follows from there Pam’s descent into madness.”
Brad Caleb Kane (“IT: Welcome to Derry”) is the showrunner for the series, and describes the series to EW as “a mixtape of genre.”
“Everybody in this world is living in a different genre in their mind,” Kane says, “until they collide with the genre that Pam is in.” Kane clarifies Crystal Lake is “100 percent” still a slasher. What’s more, the series is set in the ’70s.
Linda Cardellini stars as Pamela Voorhees, a mother who gave up a singing career to raise her special needs child, only to take a dark turn when she loses her son — Jason.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
The show’s cast also includes William Catlett (Abigail), Cameron Scoggins (“Nashville”), Devin Kessler (“Godfather of Harlem”), Gwendolyn Sundstrom, Nick Cordileone (“Warrior”), Joy Suprano (“Fleishman Is in Trouble”), Danielle Kotch (Sinister), Christopher Denham (“Shining Girls”), Nancy Nagrant (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), and Phoenix Parnevik.
The eight-episode series is set to be directed by Michael Lennox (“Derry Girls”), Celine Held & Logan George (Caddo Lake), and Quyen Tran (“The Pitt”).
From A24 and streamer Peacock, “Crystal Lake” will notably be the first official Friday the 13th project since the Platinum Dunes remake of the original classic way back in 2009.
