A24's 'Crystal Lake' Series Hits Major Roadblocks

The ambitious 'Friday the 13th' prequel faces budget issues, unpaid writers, and creative conflicts.

Charlize Theron was considered for the role of Pamela Voorhees before the show's development stalled.
A24 and Peacock's 'Crystal Lake' had an $85 million budget but faced disputes over costs and production processes.
Showrunners Bryan Fuller and Jim Danger Gray were fired, leaving the project's future uncertain.
Conflicting reports suggest Peacock was either unaware or involved in the firing decision.
The series aimed to reimagine the first four 'Friday the 13th' films but now remains in limbo.
