Friday the 13th: In which order should the films of the Jason Voorhees saga be watched?

Friday the 13th is one of the most famous horror franchises in cinema history and features one of the most terrifying protagonists in the genre. The series’ ruthless killer protagonist, Jason Voorhees, has transcended cinema and made the leap to a variety of formats. He has become an icon of popular culture and has even starred in a multiplayer video game. Today, we are going to review the chronological order in which to enjoy the franchise. There are already 12 films, including a crossover and a reboot.

Chronological Order of the Friday the 13th Saga

In general, the order of the ‘Friday the 13th’ saga is not much of a mystery, since most of the movies are in order, and it is indicated in the number of the title. You just have to be careful with the three that do not. The Final Chapter’ would be part 5, ‘A New Beginning’ part 6 and ‘The Final Friday’ part 9. But knowing that, there are only two movies in the saga that are out of order.

The first one is the 2009 reboot, which would retell the story of the first four installments and tell us the origins of Voorhees. The second would be ‘Freddy vs. Jason,’ the crossover with ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street,’ which is the most recent but would take place before ‘Jason X.’ And while there are no movies on the horizon, we can keep waiting for ‘Crystal Lake.’ This will be a brand-new series that will debut on Peacock and will serve as an “expanded prequel” and will feature Linda Cardellini as Mrs. Pamela Voorhees.
