The Friday the 13th franchise has received a new update.

The most recently announced installment in the franchise is a planned Peacock prequel series with A24 and Bryan Fuller, though the showrunner recently departed the project.

They have revealed that they are partnering with original screenwriter Victor Miller and executive producer Marc Toberoff for new projects that "will span a wide range of platforms from entertainment, games, immersive experiences, merchandise, and more to be announced throughout 2024." At the time of writing, it is unknown if this universe will involve movies or television shows, finally bringing Jason back to the live-action screen after a long hiatus following his so-far final movie in 2009.
