The Friday the 13th film franchise has long been dormant, but horror fans are now on the cusp of experiencing a new era of slasherdom under the Jason Universe branding. The first project to bring new life to these characters is the prequelized series Crystal Lake, which will be available to stream with a Peacock subscription, and the project's latest update revealed who will be playing genre icon Jason Voorhees.
As we all know from years of F13 fandom, the actors who take on the role of Jason are inevitably beloved by fans, but aren't necessarily set up for extremely complex performances. As such, Crystal Lake's casting news for Jason isn't necessarily as interesting to mull over as one of the details attached to the announcement.
