Jason Voorhees is back! The long-dormant slasher titan slashed back onto screens on August 13, 2025, with the surprise release of Sweet Revenge, a 13-minute official short that marks the first canonical appearance of Jason Voorhees in 16 years.

Directed by Silent Night’s Mike P. Nelson and starring stuntman Schuyler White behind the mask, the film kicks off what’s being branded as the Jason Universe — a bold new chapter in the legacy of Friday the 13th.
