Linda Cardellini Set as Pamela Voorhees in FRIDAY THE 13TH Prequel
Series CRYSTAL LAKE on Peacock  (March 24)

Wow, hadn't heard about this. Has potential, especially with Cardellini,
although the appeal of these movies has always been the grotesque killings and
gratuitous gore and nubile 20-something girls and their nekkid nudity. Not
sure how much of that would be allowed by the NBC censors on the Peacocks.

I'm also not sure what kind of story they'll be able to tell without messing
with the franchise's known continuity. In the movies, Pamela Voorhees only
took up slaughtering teenagers after some camp counselors let Jason
(supposedly) drown and we've already seen that portrayed in the movie. She
wasn't a killer before that and she was dead after that, so what story is
there left to tell about her?

Martin Sensmeier Joins Season 2 of THE TERMINAL LIST Amazon Series

Another series that seems to be taking forever to get to its second season. I
guess this is just new reality with TV these days.
