Linda Cardellini Teases Her Killer Character Arc on ‘Crystal Lake’
While we might not know exactly where the upcoming Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake will end, we know where it’s going. A young woman named Pamela Voorhees, reeling from the death of her young son Jason, who drowned at Camp Crystal Lake, will take matters into her own hands, killing a bunch of people in the process. The story in the show, which debuts on Peacock October 15, isn’t exactly the same as the iconic 1980s film, but the show’s star, Linda Cardellini, did want to pay respects to that film.
