Kill her, mommy!
Deadline reports that the role of Jason’s mama in the upcoming prequel series has gone to Linda Cardellini (FREAKS AND GEEKS, SCOOBY-DOO).
The series’ version of Pamela Voorhees is “believed to be a mother who had given up a singing career to raise a special needs child and takes a dark turn when she loses her son.”
Betsy Palmer played Mrs. Voorhees in the original 1980 film, revealed to be the killer butchering the camp counselors as revenge for the drowning of her son Jason.
Brad Caleb Kane (WELCOME TO DERRY – another horror series!) is the showrunner for CRYSTAL LAKE.
