EXCLUSIVE: Bryan Fuller Tells Us Everything He Can About CRYSTAL LAKE
If you wanna know what's what, it's best just to go straight to the horse's mouth.

Excellent. So, for starters, what characters and locations and whatnot are you allowed to use from the Friday the 13th franchise?
Everything. We can use everything. We can go to Hell, we can go to space. That's not to say that we will do those things ... although if we do go 10 seasons, I will be lobbying hard to go to space.
(Laughs)
A24 and Marc Toberoff, who is Victor Miller's lawyer, have beautifully and excruciatingly assembled all of the Friday the 13th rights. As a streaming series, we have the rights to do everything underneath the Friday the 13th umbrella. The movie rights are a completely different thing. They are tied up at New Line and are super, super messy and probably won't be untangled anytime soon, but as far as us chickens in the television industry, uh, roost, we have access to anything and everything that Friday the 13th has done up until this point.
This has been pitched as a prequel series, so how far back in the timeline will we be when Crystal Lake begins?
I don't think I'm allowed to say just yet, but I would say it's less a prequel series than a ... pre-remake-uel series.
Can you describe what "pre-remake-uel" means in this context?
For now, no. Not on the record, I can't.
Very well. But denoting it, even in part, as a prequel would tend to indicate that the series will revolve more around Pamela Voorhees than Jason. Will Jason be in it?
I wouldn't count Jason out.
OK, but you could be dancing around this. Could be that "Jason" is in it, but he's a kid rather than the masked killer everyone's imagining.
I think over the course of the series you will see many familiar manifestations of Jason!

That sounds better. Now I'm wondering what the story is.
If I have to take a guess we follow Pamela Voorhees after Jason dies. She uses the Necronomicon(was in Jason Goes to Hell) to bring her son back. She doesn't think it works and then we get the series' version of Friday the 13th.

So probably like Bates Motel mixed with Frankenstein.
Probably won’t be sure what’s her and what’s in her head.

Will Jason Voorhees Appear In Peacock's Friday The 13th Prequel Series? A Quick Legal Explainer - /Film
long read but interesting
Basically Shelly from part 3 who is an entertainment lawyer,
found a loophole in one of the filings and they "technically" can use Jason
the film rights are still all the way fukked though

Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Sounds boring.
it's all NBC shyt, like mentioned they had the SBtB revival and since they own SyFy, they do have the first season of Chucky up there...then old shyt like House, Monk, Psych, etc
movie wise they have the halloween joints
beyond that, don't care much for it and would only recommend if you can get premium for "free"
