Would a trilogy be ok, something that tells the full story of Jason and his mother at Camp Crystal Lake with a definitive ending?
Would you rather a television mini-series that starts with the drowning of Jason, the mother's revenge and Jason's return and massacre?
Do you want another reboot and they just continue the series from there and see how many they can make?
Do you want them to just keep going with Jason and make a sequel with him in the woods again?

Something new would be interesting. Maybe tell the full origin story when the mom kills the first time. Flesh it out, showing Jason’s drowning...maybe show him washing up and her taking care of him in a shack in the middle of the woods or whatever and fall deeply into revenge mode.

Something that has nothing to do with Jason. Like something about curses happening in Friday the 13th, or a serial killer or boogeyman with the name "Friday the 13th."
Either that or make the hockey mask something that possesses the wearer.

People go to see Friday the 13th movies to see Jason hacking up kids in the woods, so that's probably the safest direction. Maybe they can finally do the Winter setting. Hell, with all this nonstop 80s nostalgia, it's one property where I wouldn't mind if they set it in the 80s again.
I also like the prequel-remake idea. Sort of in the vein of Rob Zombie's Halloween but not shitty. First half is Jason at the camp and his drowning, second half is Mrs. Voorhees' revenge. At the end you find out Jason survived.

I like the idea of exploring more when Jason drowned as a child and the start of his mother's revenge.

Oddly enough I was thinking about Friday the 13th films last night and decided to revisit the remake they did in 2009 with Jared Padalecki and Danielle Panabaker. If they were to remake/bring back this series whatever they do...don't do what that film did. That film didn't feel like a Friday the 13th film to me. Jason was running around and kid napping people? Since when does Jason kid nap people? The film felt soulless without knowing what the hell it was trying to do with itself. They also tried to recreate the jump scare at the end in the original.
So for me, I would also like a remake and have it set in the 80's. I'm digging the AHS 1984 atm so I'm all for this. Have the original film be basically the origin of Jason. Show him being like a weird/misunderstood kid who gets picked on or whatever. Get a decent cast of counselors. Have the kids tell Jason some creepy made up story about a killer in the woods who drags kids into the lake to drown them. Have them "prank" Jason with this only for the prank to go too far and he gets killed. The counselors of course all are off screwing and getting high the same old stuff you expect from a film like this so they don't know what happened and the kids of course lie about it. So they just chalk it up to he went missing and was never found by the police. This leads to Pamela Voorhees blaming the counselors as per the original and going on her murder spree. Only in this one, she doesn't die. We don't see Jason again after his death as a child.
Then we get the sequel and it's years later (and the Camp is now back open ala AHS style) and the kids that killed Jason are now the counselors and they're telling the kids the same story they told Jason back in the day but they're now using Pamela Voorhees' murders as the background. We then see each of those kids getting knocked off by a shadowy figure to the assumption that it's Pamela Voorhees doing these killings again. I forgot to mention, one of the counselors is a new girl (will be the main character/Thinking along the lines of a Hailee Steinfeld, Haley Lu Richardson, Kaitlyn Dever) that was never there during Jasons death. We later discover that it's Jason who is a live and not an undead nightmare (yet) and he's killing these counselors as they're the ones truly responsible for his "death". The new girl discovers this via finding a run down shack that is the home of a very elderly and senile woman (Pamela Vorhees) who the new girl now discovers isn't the killer currently and we get the Jason reveal. He doesn't want to kill the new girl because she was never part of it but then we hear the voice of Pamela Voorhees kick in with "kill them all Jason". So he ends up trying to kill her but she escapes after tricking Jason into killing his mother and then she burns the shack down with Jason inside holding his mother.
We then get further sequels with this main girl coming back ala Nancy in Nightmare on Elm Street and Sidney in Scream etc but now Jason is a burnt up undead type thing on killing sprees.

Play up the Friday the 13th angle. As is, it’s just a title (Mama Voorhees’ mutterings about the date don’t much disguise that), even less Friday the 13th-related than Halloween is Halloween-related. Throw in black cats, breaking mirrors, stepping on cracks, all of it. Say that the main characters laugh at the superstitions; connect them to an old legend of a boy who was deathly afraid of all the superstitions, so he was teased mercilessly and drowned himself in the lake, or something like that.
Play it straight. No winking at the audience, we-know-this-is-ridiculous mood, which would kill it. The whole thing has to be a mood piece (the original has no mood)—eerie shots of the woods, an empty boat floating in the middle of the lake. I would change the twist: everyone would expect the killer to be Mama Voorhees because of the original, or Jason because of the sequels, so instead make it, say, one of the kids, who’s Jason’s sibling, or the guy who owns the camp.
These are just vague ideas, but that’s the sort of line I think would work best for a remake.

Obviously the way forward is we find out Jason was actually a hermaphrodite and cuts off good own Willy to become a transgender something with lots of letters that goes around killing old white men.

Robey!!
Yeah I remember that and I think it annoyed people that it had nothing to do with Jason.
Back them people did not have enough of the slasher characters.
There was also a Nightmare on Elm Street series too wasn't there??

Robey, & LeMay were both great. Even when the episode was more miss than hit, they made it watchable. I don’t think I ever saw an episode from Freddy’s Nightmares, despite probably being more popular than the Friday tv series.

Neither did I--I was reading up on it--I didn't realize it actually had him in the show in addition to hosting-and several familiar names appeared on it-including Brad Pitt. And it lasted two seasons.

Take a page from Savannah Smiles, and pair Jason with a six-year-old girl who has run away from home. At some point in this film of redemption, he saves her from drowning.

Just don't borrow anything from AHS, whatever group of stoned interns made 1984 should be black balled from the business. It's the worst mainstream tv I've seen since the 3rd season of Under the Dome.
