Jason Voorhees has been given a makeover… but this new look is not likely to rile up Friday the 13th<\/strong> fans too much!<\/p>\n

To mark the 45th anniversary of the classic slasher franchise, Adweek.com has unveiled a first look at the new take on Jason who will soon return to our screens to make horny camp councillors’ lives a living hell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strive to maintain Jason\u2019s original essence, while continuing to move toward the future with a defined look and feel that takes Jason into his next chapter,\u201d<\/strong> confirms Rob Barsamian, president of Horror, Inc., the company that\u2019s been a part of the character\u2019s past, present, and future. \u201cWe\u2019re also working with both familiar and fresh franchise voices to strike that balance.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The launching pad for the “Jason Universe” will be Peacock\u2019s upcoming prequel series, Crystal Lake<\/strong>, but Inc.\u2019s chief marketing officer Sheri Conn reveals that we will be seeing the unstoppable killer in various other media going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re listening to fans and actively developing a slate under the Jason Universe banner that spans new movies, gaming, immersive experiences, collectibles and more,\u201d<\/strong> Conn says. \u201cOur film franchise is one of the most enduring horror properties in cinematic history, and we\u2019re actively reimagining what the next chapter\u2014and the slasher genre overall\u2014can become.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 45th anniversary celebration continues with a killer new look for everyone’s favorite slasher\ud83d\udd2a Our friend @G_Nicotero<\/a> helped us create this \u201cstrong, towering and terrifying slasher with a machete, his weapon of choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans have been waiting for something to be done with the Friday franchise for many years now, but the news that Crystal Lake would be a prequel series dampened excitement somewhat – as did a caveat that the show couldn’t even feature an adult Jason or his signature hockey mask.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, we would later learn that\u00a0this\u00a0part of the initial report was inaccurate.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fangoria<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in a 2023 interview, original showrunner Brad Fuller confirmed that they\u00a0can basically utilize anything available to them “under the Friday the 13th umbrella.”<\/p>\n

We’re still not sure what to expect from Crystal Lake (a bunch of camp counsellors ignoring a young Jason until he drowns and his mother plots her revenge?), but at least we know that they can build towards the unstoppable masked maniac getting axe-y with a bunch of teens after paying a visit to his favourite sporting goods store.<\/p>\n

We assume Jason will eventually show up should the series continue beyond a single season.<\/p>\n
