Crystal Lake, Friday the 13th Prequel, Sets October 15 Premiere on Peacock and Sky
Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel centered on Jason's mother Pam, arrives on Peacock and Sky on October 15, with Linda Cardellini in the role.
The outlet reported on September 11 that the series follows Pam as she raises her son alone near Crystal Lake, where she worked. TechRadar said viewers curious about the origins of Jason, and of his mother, should watch the show when it debuts.
The report described Crystal Lake as a highly anticipated title on the horror calendar and said fans, including the article's author, have been counting down the days to its release.
Ahead of the premiere, TechRadar published a Friday the 13th quiz revisiting the film franchise behind the series. The outlet noted that the franchise spans 12 movies and placed the films among the best horror movies. It said the quiz questions are difficult enough that only dedicated horror fans would answer all of them correctly, and invited readers to post their results in the comments and suggest other horror quizzes.
The quiz and accompanying article were written by Lucy, a film and television writer whom TechRadar identifies as an approved critic on Rotten Tomatoes. She previously wrote for What's on TV and What to Watch, and covers horror and thriller titles for streaming services, the outlet said.
The report gave no episode count, no additional cast members and no further plot details beyond Pam's role. It also did not state when the series would become available on either platform relative to the October 15 date, or set out any release plans beyond Peacock and Sky.
