Camp Crystal Lake is the place to be, apparently. After the success of Peacock’s prequel series Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th franchise is continuing to expand with a brand new movie. The news—which fittingly came on Friday, November 13, 2026—is big for fans of the films because it will be the first movie in nearly two decades. And Steve Miner, who directed the movies that gave us Jason’s infamous machete and hockey mask, Part 2 and Part III, will direct the 2027 film. Interestingly, this movie will be the thirteenth one, which makes things even more exciting.
According to Deadline, the new Friday the 13th movie will go back to its indie roots with financing from the Barsamian family, who controls the franchise through their Horror, Inc. company. The last film was a not-so-great reboot back in 2009, so hopefully a return to the franchise’s foundation will be a good thing. Just please don’t also name this film Friday the 13th!
“For generations of fans, Jason’s identity is inseparable from the creative choices Steve Miner brought to the screen,” said Robbie Barsamian, Executive Vice President of Horror, Inc. “Reuniting with Steve under a fully independent model allows us the creative control to honor what makes Jason the greatest slasher of all time and deliver the definitive theatrical event that today’s audiences expect.”
“When I put the hockey mask on Jason for Friday the 13th Part III, I knew it would create a truly scary image that would work for that movie,” said Steve Miner. “I had no idea that it would live on as one of the most iconic symbols in horror films. I’m thrilled to come back and continue the legacy.”
Nerdist’s Take: A New Friday the 13th Movie in 2027 Could Be a Great Way to Usher in a New Generation of Fans
While we are not quite sure about this new installment, we know that it could be a way to bring in new fans of the franchise. Gen Z was really into Crystal Lake, and now a film with Jason as a proper killer is the perfect way to build on that interest. And, it should be in the spirit of the original film: fast-paced, brutal kills with practical effects, and none of the sleekness of today’s films. Get gritty and grainy, please.
There’s something about evil lurking in the woods that will never fail to incite chills, right? Right now, there’s no release date, but we will be looking out for more information soon.
