Rarely is it reported that a project is straight up dead, but news out of the ongoing TCA is that the CW “Friday the 13th” project is just that.

Friday the 13th/Crystal Lake series is dead. #TCA16

Back in April it was reported that CW had already axed the project, while in July it was explained that CW had put the project on hold with plans to revisit next April. In the same report it was explained that the show could potentially move to other networks, including larger streaming services.

So, unless you’re a huge advocate of CW, this could be good news. I would much rather see Jason and the Voorhees family on Amazon, Hulu, Netflix or any other cable channel that’s not CW or MTV.

The Friday the 13th series adaptation was being developed by Steve Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle, creators of the 1996 NBC series “The Pretender” through CBS TV Studios.

The project originated when Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films and Crystal Lake Entertainment sealed a deal to produce a new hourlong dramatic series based upon the characters and settings of the franchise, with Sean S. Cunningham, who helmed the 1980 original, executive producing along with EFO Films principals Randall Emmett & George Furla and Mark Canton, among others.

Bill Basso (Terminator) and Jordu Schell (Avatar) were tapped at the time to script a storyline that re-imagines Jason in multiple time periods. Details on the remake are sketchy but the idea had been to do a contemporary series focusing on the eclectic characters of Crystal Lake who are forced to confront the return of the killer, as new secrets about his wacky family are revealed. The masked Jason is being reimagined with a stronger feel of grounded reality.
