Crystal Lake
In August 2024, Kane was appointed as the showrunner, creator, writer, and executive producer for Crystal Lake, the upcoming prequel series to the Friday the 13th franchise. Expressing his enthusiasm for the project, Kane stated, “From the moment I watched Jason Voorhees squeeze a guy’s eyeball out of its socket (in glorious 3D!) at the tender age of 8 years old, I knew my creative path was someday destined to converge with The Man Behind The Mask.”
