There hasn’t been much development on the Friday the 13th TV series since it was announced last year, but now we’ve discovered who will be writing it.
Deadline are reporting that Steve Mitchell & Craig Van Sickle, who created the NBC show The Predator back in 1996, have been hired to pen the series. The series will be produced by original Friday the 13th director Sean S. Cunningham.
According to the outlet the series, “reimagines the masked Jason with a stronger feel of grounded reality. Described as a sophisticated, horror/crime thriller, the potential Friday The 13th series is about the ongoing quest of a detective’s search for his missing brother that is somehow tied to Jason Vorhees, a long thought dead serial killer who has now returned to wreak havoc in the new Crystal Lake.”
With a TV series seemingly heading into development, will the new movie also start making some progress?
