Peacock has officially revealed its expansive Halloween 2026 streaming schedule, anchored by the highly anticipated exclusive prequel series Crystal Lake. The upcoming autumn catalog brings a massive mix of brand-new terrifying original tales, classic horror franchises, and family-friendly seasonal favorites to subscribers.
The crown jewel of the seasonal lineup is Crystal Lake, which is set to premiere exclusively on the platform on October 15. The series features Linda Cardellini starring as Pamela Voorhees. The narrative centers on the grief-stricken mother following the tragic drowning of her young son, Jason, at Camp Crystal Lake.
Set prior to the events of the iconic 1980 slasher film Friday the 13th, the plot follows two mysterious strangers who arrive at Pamela Voorhees’s door to dig into her past. Their investigation sparks a disturbing chain of events across the local town, exploring the origins of one of cinema’s most legendary horror villains.
To help fans prepare for the new prequel, Peacock is rolling out a wave of classic horror content starting in late September and carrying through October. Viewers can dive into a full franchise binge with the original Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th Part II, and Friday the 13th Part III.
