Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel series taking shape at Peacock, has cast the actor playing Jason — who will not be fitted with a hockey mask anytime soon.

Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme will begin streaming on Peacock on Certified Fresh on Friday, July 25. That’s a 56-day theatrical window on par with the filmmaker’s previous Focus Features 2023 title Asteroid City‘s screen-to-Peacock premiere.

As part of the deal, NBCUniversal and Peacock will pay $1.5 million to L.A. County's Department of Consumer and Business Affairs; $100,000 to cover the investigation costs and $2 million in civil penalties.

Blackpool have signed Birmingham City goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell on a season-long loan deal. The 28-year-old Northern Ireland international made nine appearances as Blues won the League One title last season. He started his career with Leeds United before joining Burnley, where he spent five years, in 2019.

A new Jason Voorhees has joined the Friday the 13th universe, as Callum Vinson ( Chucky, Long Bright River) is cast in Peacock ‘s prequel series Crystal Lake from A24. Brad Caleb Kane serves as creator, writer, showrunner and executive producer of the series.
