The Platinum Dunes-produced remake released in cinemas earlier this year topped the US box office during its first weekend with $42m (£26m) in ticket sales.
Warner Brothers has announced that the latest instalment in the franchise is to open in cinemas on August 13, 2010, Bloody Disgusting reports.
The update will be titled Friday The 13th Part 2, although the forthcoming horror would technically be considered as the 13th film in the series.
