Welcome to The List,

At a time when it seems like every horror property is being dug up and re-animated, the one title that HASN'T come up is "Friday the 13th" until now.. A PREQUEL SERIES is in development at Peacock.  No plot details have been announced yet.  But there's talk it could be something like the "Psycho" prequel series "Bates Motel".  So if you're hoping for the Jason with the hockey mask and the machete, that might not be what this is.

He pays for their private jet flights, their vacations, hotels, lavish gifts from clothing to jewelry, and fine dining whenever they go out. It's pretty ironic since he's not worth nearly what she is — but he knows he's paying off an emotional, as well as financial, debt."…so, a marriage of guilt?
