According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new “Friday The 13th” series is in early development, and will be the CW’s second shot at a horror series, as the network previously shot a pilot based on the horror series “Tales From The Darkside,” which was not picked up.
The horror TV genre is in full force right now with shows such as “American Horror Story” making waves on FX, “Scream” on MTV, and “Bates Motel” on A&E. In addition, a TV series based on “The Omen” is also coming to TV soon, and so is the Fox series “Scream Queens” featuring tons of familiar faces such as Lea Michele, Ariana Grande, Emma Roberts, Nick Jonas, and many more.
