In an Instagram post, series creator Brad Caleb Kane wrote, “CRYSTAL LAKE wrap party was epic! I’m madly in love with and totally in awe of this stellar bunch of artists and humans. A fella couldn’t ask for a more talented and wonderful group of collaborators. S1 (almost sorta not quite) done and dusted. More please and thank you.”
Actor Cameron Scoggins also shared his excitement, writing, “What a journey since June! To be a part of Crystal Lake has been the dream of a lifetime. Thank you to A24 & Peacock for the opportunity. Thank you to the INCREDIBLE crew for being the best group of people to be around everyday.” He added, “Huge thanks to the true maestro Brad Caleb Kane who has taken on this legendary franchise with such respect, wit and infectious enthusiasm. Ya’ll ain’t ready for what this man is about to give you.”
Scoggins confirmed that the series finished filming, saying, “I can’t wait for people to see this thing and for the fans of this franchise to get to spend more quality time with the beautifully colorful denizens of this infamously cursed town… and its most famous undying resident.”
Now that filming has wrapped, the series could be looking at a mid-to-late 2026 release date.
Crystal Lake stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees and Callum Vinson as a young Jason Voorhees. The upcoming prequel, directed by Michael Lennox, Celine Held & Logan George, and Quyen Tran, expands the 1980 slasher’s origins. Additional cast includes William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Gwendolyn Sundstrom, and Nick Cordileone.
