Friday the 13th is officially coming back to our screens with Crystal Lake - and the focus placed squarely on Pamela Voorhees this time, as opposed to her hockey mask-wearing son Jason.

Linda Cardellini stars as the grieving mother, who searches for answers – and then revenge – after her son’s death at Camp Crystal Lake.

The new prequel series is now available to watch in the US on Peacock – but what about viewers this side of the pond?

Here’s everything you need to know about when and how Crystal Lake will be released in the UK.

How to watch Crystal Lake in the UK

Crystal Lake will be available to watch in the UK on Sky and NOW from 19 October.

All eight episodes will be released at once.

However, the show is being released in the UK four days after the US, so UK fans will have to be patient and avoid spoilers for a little while.

The first season is led by Linda Cardellini. The main cast includes:
