\n\tA new Jason Voorhees has joined the Friday the 13th universe, as Callum Vinson (Chucky, Long Bright River) boards Peacock<\/a>\u2018s prequel series Crystal Lake<\/a> from A24<\/a>. Brad Caleb Kane serves as creator, writer, showrunner and executive producer of the series.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe hockey mask-wearing serial killer from the big screen is the son of Pamela Voorhees, to be played by Linda Cardellini in the new show. Cardellini\u2019s Pamela is believed to be a mother who gave up a singing career to raise a special needs child and takes a dark turn when she loses her son.<\/p>\n

\n\tCrystal Lake is a town, a lake, and a summer camp in the franchise, the setting of the series. Voorhees drowned in the lake as a child, which led to his mother\u2019s killing spree at the camp to avenge his \u201cdeath.\u201d Jason witnessed his mother\u2019s decapitation by a camp counselor, which sets him off on a murder spree of his own that haunts the area across 12 films. Vinson is billed as a recurring guest star, as this new project focuses on Pamela.<\/p>\n

\n\tJason, created by Victor Miller, has been played by multiple actors, including Ari Lehman, who brought the character to life in the original film. Additional actors include Warrington Gillette, Steve Dash, Richard Brooker, Ted White, Tom Morga, C.J. Graham, Kane Hodder, Ken Kirzinger and Derek Mears.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Vinson, Nick Cordileone\u00a0<\/strong>(Warrior),\u00a0Joy Suprano\u00a0<\/strong>(Fleishman is in Trouble, Best Foot Forward),\u00a0Danielle Kotch\u00a0(Director\u2019s Cut),\u00a0and\u00a0Phoenix Parnevik\u00a0(Bel-Air, Don\u2019t Tell Mom The Babysitter Is Dead) have joined the cast.<\/p>\n

\n\tCordileone will play Ralph, Joy Suprano as Rita, Kotch as Claudette, and Parnevik as Barry.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe character Barry Jackson (Willie Adams) appeared in the original Friday the 13th film as a camp counselor and, famously, Pamela\u2019s (played by Betsy Palmer in the OG film) first victim. His girlfriend, Claudette Hayes (Debra S. Hayes), also a camp counselor, was Pamela\u2019s second victim. <\/p>\n

\n\tRalph, known as Crazy Ralph, appeared in the first two films. He is a longtime Crystal Lake resident who drunkenly rambles about the curse of Camp Crystal Lake. Potentially, if this is the same Ralph Cordileone plays, it could be revealed what he saw or knew that caused this lifelong trauma. It\u2019s worth noting that the above characters could differ from those portrayed in the prequel, and even if they are the same, their stories could evolve into something different.<\/p>\n

\n\tCrystal Lake also stars William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins,\u00a0and Gwendolyn Sundstrom.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe prequel\u00a0is executive produced by A24, Kane, Marc Toberoff, Victor Miller, Robert M. Barsamian, Robert P. Barsamian and Stuart Manashil.<\/p>\n
