After being stuck in development hell for a while, the highly anticipated “Crystal Lake” series is finally picking up some serious momentum. Earlier this spring, we reported that things were moving. And cast members are now being announced. According to Deadline, the latest addition to the cast is William Catlett (Abigail).
Catlett will be starring alongside the previously announced Linda Cardellini in the series. Some details are still shrouded in mystery. However, Deadline has revealed that William Catlett will play the role of Levon Brooks. His part is described as a “major” one.
As we previously learned, Linda Cardellini is set to play Mrs. Voorhees in “Crystal Lake.” She’ll portray “a mother who had given up a singing career to raise a special needs child and takes a dark turn when she loses her son.” That son, of course, is none other than the iconic slasher himself, Jason Voorhees!
“Crystal Lake” is being described as an “expanded prequel” to the original Friday the 13th franchise. It promises to delve into the origins of both Jason Voorhees and his terrifying mother, Pamela Voorhees.
This streaming series, brought to us by Peacock and A24, is a huge deal for fans. It will revive the Friday the 13th franchise after 16 long years of Jason Voorhees lying dormant. The beloved horror icon has been trapped in legal limbo due to messy rights issues, but now, it seems the lake’s dark secrets are finally ready to be unearthed. Get ready to dive into the chilling history of Camp Crystal Lake!
