FIRST LOOK AT THE GRIPPING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER AND FRIDAY THE 13TH PREQUEL SERIES CRYSTAL LAKE
FROM A24, PREMIERING OCTOBER 16 ONLY ON STAN
First look images and teaser have been released for the psychological thriller series and prequel to the Friday the 13th franchise, Crystal Lake, premiering October 16, only on Stan.
Starring Emmy nominee Linda Cardellini (DTF St. Louis, Dead to Me), Crystal Lake was created by showrunner, writer, and executive producer Brad Caleb Kane, who joins A24 and original Friday the 13th writer Victor Miller and Horror, Inc. in bringing the Jason Universe story to the screen.
Crystal Lake gives fans and newcomers alike a suspenseful, all-new mystery as it expands the lore surrounding one of horror’s most infamous stories. It follows single mother Pam Voorhees (Emmy nominee Linda Cardellini) after her young son Jason’s drowning in the town lake, a catalyst for her elusive past to return. When two strangers suddenly arrive at Pam’s door, digging into her past, a disturbing chain of events is set into motion that has the townspeople wondering: just who is Pam Voorhees, and what horrors haunt Crystal Lake?
In addition to Cardellini, the ensemble cast brings to life a host of characters that capture the distinctive quirks and eccentricities of small-town life in Crystal Lake, including William Catlett as local police chief, Levon Brooks, and Devin Kessler as Levon’s journalist sister, Brianna; Cameron Scoggins as police officer Dorf; Gwendolyn Sundstrom as Grace, a fellow camper and friend of Jason; and Callum Vinson as young Jason.

A DECADE OF LIES EXPOSED.
LINCOLN YOUNES AND DANIELLE CORMACK JOIN LUKE ARNOLD AND BELLA HEATHCOTE IN THE STAN ORIGINAL SCRUBLANDS: TRUST
Based on Chris Hammer’s best-selling novel Trust, Luke Arnold and Bella Heathcote reprise their roles in the smash-hit crime drama.
Martin Scarsden (Luke Arnold) and Mandy Bond (Bella Heathcote)
Stan and the 9Network today released first look images for the third season of the Stan Original Scrublands, now filming in Sydney. Luke Arnold (Black Sails) and Bella Heathcote (Pieces of Her) reprise their roles, this time chasing corruption and conspiracy through Sydney’s dark underbelly and the spectacular vistas of the Blue Mountains. Scrublands: Trust is an Easy Tiger production with support from Screen NSW.
Based on the best-selling novel Trust by Chris Hammer, the sequel to Scrublands and Silver, the third season will also star Lincoln Younes (Last King of the Cross), and Danielle Cormack (Wentworth). In addition, Sarah Roberts (Home and Away) will return as Beth Ramachandran, and Nicholas Bell (Bay of Fires) as Max Fuller.
The four-part season jumps back a decade to unravel a devastating secret. Mandy Bond (Heathcote) thought she’d dealt with her past, but an old name has come back to haunt her: Tom Molloy (Younes). The man who stole $15 million before vanishing, the fiancé she never told Martin about. His body has been found and with it emerge secrets Mandy is desperate to keep hidden.
Meanwhile her partner, investigative reporter Martin Scarsden (Arnold), is rocked when his long-time mentor, Max Fuller (Bell), apparently suicides mere hours after asking Martin for help on a big story. Martin picks up where Max left off, his search leading him through the back lanes of Sydney, the homes of the rich and powerful, and headlong into a bloody shoot-out in the depths of the Blue Mountains. The closer Martin gets to answers, the more risks he’ll have to take, as killers-for-hire, corrupt developers and powerful figures stand in between him and the truth. But until Mandy trusts Martin with all the secrets of her past, the truth will elude him, and by the time it comes to light, will it be too late?
Tom Molloy (Lincoln Younes)
Nine Entertainment’s Executive Director, Entertainment, Michael Healy said: “The incredible response to the first two seasons of Scrublands indicates a massive appetite for premium Australian crime drama, and we’re thrilled to bring audiences another gripping season. Chris Hammer’s novels are beloved around the world and we’re proud to work with Easy Tiger once again, this time welcoming Lincoln Younes and Danielle Cormack into the cast. We can’t wait for viewers to experience the new season soon.”
Executive producers Ian Collie and Rob Gibson of Easy Tiger said: “We’re delighted to be returning to the world of Scrublands for a third season. The continued enthusiasm for this series is a testament to Chris Hammer’s compelling stories and the extraordinary work of our cast and creative team. We’re grateful to Stan and 9 Network for their ongoing support, and we look forward to sharing another suspense-filled chapter with audiences.”
Screen NSW Executive Director, Kylie Munnich said: “Screen NSW is delighted to welcome Scrublands to NSW for season three, with support from our Made in NSW TV Drama Fund. Scrublands: Trust is another premium series from leading NSW production company Easy Tiger. In the safe hands of this standout creative team, season three promises to be another hit with audiences in Australia and internationally.”
Danielle Cormack in Scrublands: Trust
