Jennifer is a TV and Movie News Editor at ScreenRant. She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant.

Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available. 

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.

Her Alien: Earth coverage for ScreenRant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.

She was initially a finance and political editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.

During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

Friday the 13th fans may have a reason to celebrate as the iconic horror franchise's co-creator revealed that another film is on the way.

Friday the 13th is arguably one of the most recognizable and iconic slasher franchises of all time. Spanning 12 films released between 1980 and 2009, the film series follows Jason Voorhees, a masked killer who hunts down teenagers at Camp Crystal Lake. His murder spree was mainly caused by his mother’s actions in the original film. Over the course of the franchise, his killings extend beyond the campgrounds, including confrontations in space and a crossover with Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

One of the creators of Friday the 13th, Sean Cunningham, confirmed to TMZ that an “old school” Jason movie is on the way. While he remained vague about the details, he seemed to be optimistic that the recent merger between Warner Bros. and Paramount could help move the project forward. He explained that both studios hold rights to the franchise, which was the main point of contention. However, that won't be a problem anymore.
