‘Crystal Lake,’ ‘The Paper,’ ‘Good Daughter’ Get Peacock Premiere Dates

Posted on


Peacock has set premiere dates for a few of its more anticipated series, including its Friday the 13th prequel Crystal Lake, drama The Good Daughter and season two of The Paper.

Amy Poehler’s comedy Dig, season two of Day of the Jackal and some new unscripted shows are also on the horizon. Peacock laid out its coming slate as part of NBCUniversal’s upfront on Monday.

Crystal Lake, which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees — the killer in the first Friday the 13th film and mother of Jason, the unkillable monster of the rest of the seris — is set to premiere Oct. 15, two weeks and change before Halloween (though not on the next Friday the 13th, in November). Peacock is still being very tight-lipped about story details on the A24-produced series, which also stars William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins and Gwendolyn Sundstrom. Callum Vinson will recur as the young Jason.

The Good Daughter, starring Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy, will premiere Nov. 12. Based on a novel by Karin Slaughter (who’s also the showrunner), the drama centers on sisters Charlotte (Fahy) and Samantha (Byrne) Quinn, who “have spent the last 20 years trying to piece together the lives that were fractured by a single night of violence,” the logline reads. “When another attack splinters the small town of Pikeville, Charlotte — lawyer like her father — is the first witness on the scene. As the case unfolds and twists through painful memories and buried secrets, what emerges is not just a story of survival,but of enduring ties between a father, his daughters and the complex bond between sisters.” Brendan Gleeson, Harper Steele, Olivia Williams, Drew Cheek, Audrey Grace Marshall and Michael Dorman also star.

Season two of The Paper, the sort-of spinoff of The Office set at a struggling newspaper in Toledo, Ohio, will premiere in September. The first season ended with new editor Ned (Domhnall Gleeson) and his mostly novice reporters possibly reviving the paper’s fortunes and winning a couple of awards for their work.

Dig stars Poehler — who’s also an executive producer and writer — as part of a team of archaeologists and college students working on a dig site in Greece, where their discovery of a rare artifact sends them on an adventure. Hugh Laurie, Geraldine Viswanathan, Antonia Thomas and Fina Strazza also star. The show also reunites Poehler and Parks and Recreation co-creator Mike Schur, who’s a writer and EP on th show.

Peacock has also set dates for the newest seasons of British imports The Capture (June 18) and The Undeclared War (Aug. 27), while The Day of the Jackal and Superfakes, starring Lucy Liu, are due in 2027.

On the unscripted ledger, Peacock is entering the vertical video realm with a pair of shows featuring Bravo talent (or their offspring). Campus Confidential: Miami will follow a group of college students that includes Georgia Gay, the daughter of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City castmember Heather Gay. Salon Confessionals With Madison LeCroy features the Southern Charm star eliciting revealing stories from her clients.

The streamer will also debut a docuseries called Wolves of Real Estate: The Alexander Brothers in the summer. Married at First Sight is also set for a summer debut, and season two of Nelly and Ashanti: We Belong Together is due in the fall.
