Bryan Fuller Wants HisFriday the 13thShow to Go to Space

AFriday the 13th prequel showtitled Crystal Lake is add up to Peacock , and now its showrunner , Bryan Fuller , is clear up up some misconception . In a young audience , Fuller explain that the show can , in fact , apply anything from the Friday the 13th dealership because it ’s a streaming series , not a film . He also let on why the show is probable to go at least two time of year , how many season he has planned , and that if the show give way 10 seasons , he has a design for that .

“ If we get 10 season , I ’m become to make a conjunctive effort to receive a way to rationally and dramatically and , in some fashion , go to space,”Fuller told Fangoria . “ I ca n’t envisage it going 10 seasons , but I will put that out there that , uh … well , I have n’t gotten past laying out the first three seasons , aboveboard , so I suppose it ’s very well-off for me to say , yeah , if we get to 10 seasons , we ’re going to quad . expect and see ! ”

When intelligence broke of the show come , paper were that because of the complicated right issues surrounding the Friday the 13th enfranchisement , the show would not be able to use anything from films after the first movie . Which , fundamentally , meant no hockey game masque for Jason . But Fuller explain that ’s not the case .

“ As a streaming series , we have the rights to do everything underneath the Friday the 13th umbrella , ” he said . “ The picture rights are a completely different thing . They are tied up at New Line and are topnotch , super messy and probably wo n’t be untangled anytime soon , but as far as us chickens in the television receiver manufacture , uh , roost , we have access to anything and everything that Friday the 13th has done up until this point . ”

Being as the show is a prequel though , fans speculated just how far before the first flick the show could possibly take home . Years ? Decades ? Centuries ? Fuller could n’t get into specifics of when the show is set or what the tale is but he said it ’s less a prequel and more a “ pre - remake - uel . ” What does that mean ? Well , he pronounce Jason will be a part of the serial and “ I remember over the grade of the series you will see many intimate manifestations of Jason . ” So that pee it vocalise like it ’ll be much , much secretive to the original tale than many gestate .

In summation , Fuller explained that Crystal Lake is coming to Peacock because the streamer really rolled out the red carpet for his team . “ There was a bidding war on this , and [ Peacock ] hail in warm and throw us a full - time of year commitment with a huge punishment if we do n’t do a 2nd season , ” he articulate . “ So it ’s kind of a two - time of year commitment [ laughs ] , but really just the first - time of year commitment . We ’re going to have about five times the per - instalment budget that we had on Hannibal . ”

You register that right field . “ Five times the per - episode budget ” of Hannibal . A show that seem awing . No wonderment Fuller thinks , if the show go 10 time of year , he ’ll be capable to pull aJason X and go to outer space . “ It will absolutely be recognizable for the hardcore Friday the 13th sports fan , but will also have an appeal to people who are simply concerned in top - ledge TV storytelling , ” he said .
