Season 6, Episode 48: Interview with Joy Suprano (Rita) from “Crystal Lake” (2026)

Joy and I dove deep into one of the most highly anticipated television events of the year. On October 15, 2026, Peacock and A24 are officially taking us back to the place where the nightmare began. The new prequel series Crystal Lake promises to deliver a masterclass in 1970s psychological dread, showing us the tragic, twisted origins of Camp Crystal Lake before the legends were born. In Crystal Lake, Joy steps into the recurring role of Rita, a character navigating the rising paranoia and dark secrets of a town on the brink of tragedy. This has been an absolutely fascinating look behind the scenes of what is sure to be the horror event of autumn. I would love to thank Joy so much for sharing her insights on building Rita, stepping into the atmospheric world of A24, and bringing us back to those legendary woods. For everyone watching at home, make sure to mark your calendars: Crystal Lake premieres on Peacock on October 15, 2026. You are not going to want to miss a single second of this psychological thriller.
