There is a thread on here and it was mentioned that there was a rumor that Paramount was going to release it to coincide with a box set containing the first 8 Friday The 13th movies. The box set with the movies came out, but I'm still waiting on the show.
They'd do that because they're both called Friday The 13th. It's the same thing as when they re-release The Doors (for example) on the same day as World Trade Center was released. No connection other than Oliver Stone but they were trying to piggyback on the bigger title.
