Last Friday the 13th of 2026: Where to Watch Jason Today
Today is the third and last Friday the 13th of 2026, and there are three ways to spend it with Jason Voorhees. Jason Lives is back in Regal theaters tonight, the first eight films are streaming free on Pluto TV, and every episode of Crystal Lake is on Peacock.
A calendar year can hold no more than three Friday the 13ths. The last year that did was 2015, and it will not happen again until 2037. After tonight, the next Friday the 13th is nine months away, on August 13, 2027.
Jason Lives Plays Regal Theaters Tonight
Regal has spent the year bringing the franchise back to the big screen on every Friday the 13th, starting with the first two films in February and following with Part 3 and The Final Chapter in March. The series ends tonight with Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, which turns 40 this year. Tom McLoughlin’s 1986 sequel is the one where Tommy Jarvis digs up Jason’s grave and accidentally brings him back to life.
Fangoria is presenting the screening as part of its Staff Picks series and lists tickets at $13, each with a collectible patch. Showtimes are on Regal’s site.
The First Eight Films Are Free on Pluto TV
For a marathon at home, Pluto TV is streaming the first eight films free with ads, from the 1980 original through Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. Pluto’s free horror lineup for November also includes the documentary His Name Was Jason. Those eight films, all from the Paramount years, are on Paramount+ and AMC+ for subscribers as well.
All Eight Episodes of Crystal Lake Are on Peacock
This is the first Friday the 13th with Crystal Lake available to watch. The A24 prequel series arrived on Peacock on October 15 and stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees, a single mother who cannot shake her grief after her young son Jason drowns in the town lake. Peacock reported 1.3 billion minutes watched in the first 11 days.
A New Friday the 13th Movie Was Announced Today
The date also brought news of the next film. Steve Miner, who directed Part 2 and Part III, will direct the 13th movie in the franchise, which is planned for 2027. David Fliegel wrote the script, and Cineverse holds the North American distribution rights. It will be the first Friday the 13th film in theaters since the 2009 reboot.
Victor Miller’s Family Chose Today to Remember Him
This is also the first Friday the 13th since the death of Victor Miller, who wrote the 1980 film and created Pamela and Jason Voorhees. Miller died on August 31 at 86. When his son Ian announced the death, he said a celebration of his father’s life would be held in November, “on Friday the 13th, of course.” Miller was also an executive producer on Crystal Lake, the series built around the mother he wrote.
