New Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake focuses on the franchise's original killer Pamela Voorhees' early days, but creator Brad Caleb Kane can see the series lasting beyond the first season, and even has ideas for new kill scenes in the next installment.

"There are ideas we have potentially for a second season that maybe we were playing around with as part of the first season, says writer-director Kane to GamesRadar+. "But it felt like it needed to be compact to tell one story. So we'll save those."

The eight-part series stars Linda Cardellini as the single mother living in small town Crystal Lake with her sickly son Jason. But when Jason drowns at the local summer camp, Pam's grief puts her on a murderous path that forces her to face her dark past and become the killer we see in the 1980 film. However, the show bends Friday the 13th lore and introduces a new origin story that offers a method to Pamela's madness.

Cardelini points out that since the show starts "a decade before the movie begins," there's still "so much life for her to have," adding, "we're in television time, so we can take a decade and make that take 30 years or two years." We only see Pamela for a short time in the first film before she is whacked. Kane tells us that the whole series is based on Pam's two-minute confession, so Pamela is really an open book.

Kane adds, "I think there's a lot more story to tell, even between the events of the end of this season and the events of the first movie.
