We are still waiting for the marketing campaign to get underway for Friday the 13th prequel series “Crystal Lake,” but while we wait for the trailer, we’ve got a fresh tease this week.
Linda Cardellini stars as Pamela Voorhees in “Crystal Lake,” the mother of Jason Voorhees and the killer from the original Friday the 13th movie. The character finally takes center stage in the upcoming Peacock series, and Cardellini teases what to expect in a new chat with Deadline.
“She’s important to the series, but sort of unexplored,” Cardellini tells the outlet. “So I thought that would be really, really fun, to do something I’d never done.”
The actress goes on to explain that “Crystal Lake” showrunner Brad Caleb Kane has “made sort of this mixtape of all the things that he would love to see happen for [Pamela Voorhees].”
“It goes all over the place for her character and it’s really fun,” Cardellini adds.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
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.
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.
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.
