FRIDAY THE 13TH Prequel Series Casts Callum Vinson as Jason Voorhees, Adds 4 More Recurring Stars

Peacock’s highly anticipated Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake has officially added five new recurring guest stars to its cast. Leading the new additions is Callum Vinson (Chucky, Long Bright River), who will take on the role of a young Jason Voorhees.

Vinson joins previously announced series lead Linda Cardellini, who stars as Jason’s mother, Pamela Voorhees. The prequel will explore Pamela’s life before the bloody events that launched one of horror’s most iconic franchises.

Alongside Vinson, the recurring cast now includes Nick Cordileone (Warrior) as Ralph, Joy Suprano (Fleishman Is in Trouble, Best Foot Forward) as Rita, Danielle Kotch (Director’s Cut) as Claudette, and Phoenix Parnevik (Bel-Air, Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter Is Dead) as Barry.

They join series regulars William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins, and Gwendolyn Sundstrom. Plot details remain tightly under wraps, but fans can expect the show to dive deep into Pamela’s backstory and the origins of Camp Crystal Lake.

Brad Caleb Kane serves as creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer. A24 is producing, with original Friday the 13th screenwriter Victor Miller returning as an executive producer alongside Marc Toberoff, Robert M. Barsamian, Robert P. Barsamian, Stuart Manashil, and Tyson Bidner.

Michael Lennox will executive produce and direct the first three episodes, while Celine Hind and Logan George handle episodes four through six, and Quyen Tran directs episodes seven and eight.

Crystal Lake was given a straight-to-series order by Peacock in 2022. With A24 behind the project and this growing cast, expectations are high for a chilling dive into the dark roots of one of horror’s most infamous legends.
