'Sweet Revenge' Trailer Revives Jason Voorhees
Friday the 13th fans have been waiting close to two decades for a new installment in the long-running slasher franchise. Things are finally coming together under the Jason Universe label, however, and we've now received our first look with the trailer for Sweet Revenge .
The upcoming 'short-form vignette' revives Jason Voorhees just in time for the franchise's 45th anniversary. As the footage below reveals, writer and director Mike P. Nelson has put together all of the elements that fans have come to expect from a traditional Friday the 13th endeavor. Angry Orchard sponsored the vignette in a collaboration with Jason Universe and Horror, Inc.
What's most exciting, of course, is that this trailer gives us our first look at the newly-redesigned Jason Voorhees in action. Responses to the Jason Universe's design for the iconic character have been mixed, but this footage fully reveals how the character functions in proper lighting and setting and, as you can see below, Jason is as brutal and enraged as ever.
Here's the official trailer for Sweet Revenge :
It's worth noting that there are still other Jason Universe projects in the works, including the upcoming Peacock series Crystal Lake , which is more focused on Jason's mother, Pamela Voorhees. It looks like the label is eager to bring back Jason and the Friday the 13th brand in as many ways as possible, and Sweet Revenge is just the first step in making it happen. Fortunately, fans will be able to see the vignette when it drops as soon as next month.
The highly-anticipated Friday the 13th vignette Sweet Revenge from Jason Universe will be released on August 13, 2025. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the Friday the 13th franchise as we have them – and, beginning with this new short film, there should be plenty of news coming our way soon.
