As for how and where Jason Voorhees will feature – being that the show is set before the events of the first film – Fuller teased: “I wouldn’t count Jason out.” When pressed on the matter, he added: “I think over the course of the series you will see many familiar manifestations of Jason.”
As for a kill-count, Fuller said: “It will be pretty murderous – I think we’ll be dropping bodies every episode.”
