Peacock’s upcoming Friday the 13th series, Crystal Lake from A24, has a new showrunner, Brad Caleb Kane (It: Welcome to Derry), according to Deadline. The previous showrunner, Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Star Trek: Discovery) officially exited the project in May.
Kane will serve as the series’ creator, writer and executive producer.
“From the moment I watched Jason Voorhees squeeze a guy’s eyeball out of its socket (in glorious 3D!) at the tender age of 8 years old, I knew my creative path was someday destined to converge with The Man Behind The Mask,” said Kane in a statement on his Crystal Lake hiring. “Nothing defined my childhood more than growing up in the golden age of the slasher flick, and nothing’s defined the genre more than Friday The 13th. I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity to contribute a chapter to this iconic franchise, particularly with such fearless partners as Peacock and A24.”
