The Friday the 13th horror film series began in 1980 with the tale of a group of camp counselors who are murdered while attempting to reopen the abandoned Camp Crystal Lake. The film stars Betsy Palmer as Pamela — the mother of Jason — who has a dark secret. In subsequent movies, Jason grows up to become a maniacal, machete-wielding serial killer. Following the use of a gunny sack hood in Friday the 13th Part II, Jason began to wear his now famous hockey mask to conceal his face in Friday the 13th Part III. The Friday the 13th film franchise to date consists of 12 movies, including a remake of the original in 2009. According to Deadline, Linda Cardellini will assume the role of Betsy in the new series, which will stream on Peacock. Per the trade publication, Brad Caleb Kane (Tokyo Vice, Lodge 49) is the creator of Crystal Lake and will be the series writer, showrunner and executive producer.
