“Hysteria” will be released on Blu-ray on April 22 via Universal. Despite being billed as Season One, Peacock canceled the show back in February.

The two-disc set contains all eight episodes of the satanic panic horror-comedy series, which premiered in October on Peacock. No special features are listed.

When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the Satanic Panic of the late 1980s, a struggling high school rock band of outcasts realizes they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings and reported supernatural activity triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.

Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia, Kezii Curtis, Nikki Hahn, Anna Camp, Julie Bowen, and Bruce Campbell star with Jessica Treska, Nolan North, Elijah Richardson, Brandon Butler, Garret Dillahunt, Allison Scagliotti, and Milly Shapiro in recurring roles.

A couple of weeks ago, the Peacock streaming service announced that they had cancelled the James Wan-produced series Teacup after just one season. Now, another one bites the dust. Variety reports that Peacock has also decided to cancel the coming-of-age Satanic Panic thriller series Hysteria! after just one season.

Written and executive produced by Matthew Scott Kane, Hysteria! explored America’s dark history of mass hysteria through the shocking story of the teenage Satanic Panic. The series follows a group of 1980s high school misfits as they exploit the growing hysteria around teen occult activity. Here’s the full official synopsis: When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the “Satanic Panic” of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders,...

Peacock continues its cancellation streak with its coming-of-age Satanic Panic thriller series “Hysteria!” after one season, Variety reports. The news arrives just weeks after the streamer canceled sci-fi horror series “Teacup“.

The series premiered in October 2024, and all eight episodes are now available to stream.

Written and executive produced by Matthew Scott Kane (Stitchers) and David Goodman (The Orville), “Hysteria!” highlights America’s dark history of mass hysteria through ’80s Satanic Panic. It’s framed through a teen coming-of-age story centered around a trio of high school misfits caught up in a wave of dangerous hysteria.

The series’ official synopsis: “When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the ‘Satanic Panic ‘of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders,...

Peacock is not proceeding with a second season of thriller drama Hysteria!, Deadline has confirmed. The news comes 3½ months after the eight-episode first season was released as a binge drop on October 18.

It is not surprising as the series starring Julie Bowen and Anna Camp didn’t manage to make noise like other recent Peacock entries, including The Day Of the Jackal and Apples Never Fall. The decision follows the recent cancellation of another Peacock October release, horror drama Teacup.

Written and executive produced by Matthew Scott Kane, Hysteria! is set during the “Satanic Panic” of the late 1980s, when a beloved varsity quarterback disappears. It follows a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts who realize they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a satanic metal band. But when a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings and reported “supernatural...

The Peacock horror thriller series “Hysteria!” has been canceled after just one season, Variety has learned exclusively.

The show aired its one and only season at the streamer in October 2024. It had originally been ordered to series in August 2022 and began production in 2023, but was forced to shut down after filming just a few episodes due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes. It eventually resumed production in late 2023.

Peacock does not release viewership data for its shows, so it is difficult to gauge exactly how many people watched “Hysteria!” However, the show did not make an appearance on the weekly Nielsen Top 10 streaming charts upon its release. It was well-received by critics though, holding a 91% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The official series description states:

“When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the ‘Satanic Panic’ of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize...

Peacock’s coming-of-age thriller series “Hysteria!” plunged its small Michigan town into full-blown Satanic Panic. Thanks to its teen protagonists and an atypically sympathetic police chief, order is mostly restored in Happy Hollow by season’s end.

Chief Dandridge (Bruce Campbell) had a particularly stressful arc in showrunners Matthew Scott Kane (Stitchers) and David Goodman’s (The Orville) inaugural season; the observant yet patient small-town lawman nearly succumbed to the hysteria himself and rallied to survive a near-death confrontation with The Reverend (Garret Dillahunt). The finale wraps up the season’s overarching questions, yet leaves lingering signs that The Reverend and Tracy Whitehead’s (Anna Camp) devious machinations still have roots in Happy Hollow.

Considering that Campbell plays his cop character with unconventional kindness and is billed as a guest star, not series regular, where does that leave the actor regarding the future of the series?

“Well, I am under contract,...

Peacock’s coming-of-age, Satanic Panic thriller series “Hysteria!” has turned the small Michigan town of Happy Hallow upside down, with many of its residents giving in to fear as bizarre phenomena takes root. At the forefront is Julie Bowen’s Linda, a doting housewife who finds herself in dire need of an exorcism.

Bloody Disgusting can exclusively debut a clip that peers into Linda’s possessed mind when Tracy Whitehead (Anna Camp) hosts an exorcism for all of Happy Hallow to witness.

All episodes of “Hysteria!” are available to stream on Peacock. Episodes also air weekly on USA Network.

The series follows a group of 1980s high school misfits as they exploit the growing hysteria around teen occult activity.

A series set in the time of the 1980s Satanic Panic, the Peacock series Hysteria! has had some classic 80s-era music in the show thus far, but the shows creator said there was one song they couldnt get. Per Comic Book, show creator Matthew Scott Kane said even with the best music supervisor, they could not get the song Beth by Kiss.

So, we had the worlds greatest music supervisor and a woman named Jen Malone, who you could throw her any track, any obscure or whatever, and she would go find it and slam dunk it for you, Kane said. Im talking about like the Pixies cover two song from Eraserhead that has all kinds of legal red tape all over it. She got that for us.

Kane continued, We have a song from a Swedish band called Father. Bathory, which that was a whole huge rights issue. The...

Peacock's supernatural horror series, Hysteria!, introduces viewers to the show and one of its main actors, Jessica Treska, who plays Judith.

Hysteria! (which is unironically the title of Def Leppard's most popular album (and one of its most popular songs)) follows a high school heavy metal band that uses the Satanic Panic movement of the 1980s to build its reputation after the football team's quarterback goes missing.

All eight episodes of the show premiered on Peacock on October 18, and even though the series was just released, Hysteria showrunner and creator Matthew Scott Kane is already hoping that it will last four seasons.

Famous horror actor Bruce Campbell is making his return to television horror with the new Peacock series “Hysteria!” The show marks Campbell’s first major horror television role since ending his run on “Ash vs Evil Dead” in 2018. In “Hysteria!,” Campbell plays Chief Dandridge, a police chief investigating strange disappearances in a town gripped by fears of satanic influences.

At 66 years old, Campbell is taking on a very different role than his most famous character, Ash Williams from “The Evil Dead” franchise. Instead of playing an unwitting hero facing supernatural chaos, Chief Dandridge enters as an established authority figure meant to solve the town’s problems. Campbell said this change was an “intriguing contrast” that brought “maturity and gravitas” to his horror work.

Set in the 1980s, “Hysteria!” explores the real-life “Satanic Panic” period where many feared secret occult threats. The show centers on a group of teenagers starting a Satan-inspired band,...

Bruce Campbells Hysteria! is his first horror show in years, and it's the perfect follow-up to his fame-making franchise. Campbell is best known for playing protagonist Ash Williams in the classic horror series Evil Dead. Released in 1981, The Evil Dead immediately cemented Campbell as an '80s horror icon, along with writer-director Sam Raimi. Campbell reprised the role in the next two movies, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness, then once again returned in 2015 for the spinoff TV show Ash vs Evil Dead.

Now 66 years old, Campbell has to play a different kind of role than college student Ash when taking on horror projects. Having joined the Hysteria! cast, the actor plays the towns chief of police, Dandridge, who is trying to investigate a mysterious disappearance while having run-ins with some local kids who are starting a Satan-inspired band. Hysteria! a fun show, but it is a notable role...

What marks the devil? Is it a hulking figure with burnt skin and massive horns? Is it a personal enemy or unseen force? What is hell, if not a high school hallway, haunted by inner and outer demons that can only be escaped when you walk out the door?

It might be all of that, as it is in Peacock’s “Hysteria!” created by Matthew Scott Kane. In the 1980s bliss of suburban Michigan, a the high school quarterback has disappeared, a bloody pentagram left in his wake. Dylan Campbell (Emjay Anthony) gets mistaken for a Satanist by the popular Judith (Jessica Treska) because he plays in a heavy metal band with friends, so they pose as Satanists to become popular. But as fear of the occult grips the town of Happy Hollow, the innocent teens become prime suspects, and a powerful force takes root that threatens everyone.

For the most part,...

Just in time for a Halloween binge, Hysteria! is now available on Peacock and, having seen most of the series already, I can definitely say that it's worth your time. An 80s-set horror story that doesn't feel like it's focused on nostalgia, Hysteria! has a great cast with great chemistry, and it really does a great job of building up its characters, including its supporting cast, which features Bruce Campbell as the chief of police in a town where satanic panic takes hold. During a recent press day, I caught up with Bruce Campbell, where we talked about his new role and his experience with satanic panic in the 1980s.

Plot: When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the “Satanic Panic” of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported “supernatural activity” triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.

Review: There have been many 1980s-set retro horror movies in recent years, ranging from My Best Friend’s Exorcism to Totally Killer and more. The 80s were a bastion of paranoia about the impact of Dungeons & Dragons and heavy metal, a thread used in Netflix’s Stranger Things. The new series Hysteria! goes back to the heart of the Satanic Panic to see how one small town in Michigan deals with its own devilish challenges. Led by genre legend Bruce Campbell along with Julie Bowen,...

If you’re a circumspect first-time TV creator given vaguely free rein, you have two choices (for the purposes of this exercise).

One, you can render your vision in the most easily digestible way possible, to make a series that is clearly promotable and satisfyingly resolved, in the hopes of engineering a hit and getting to make other shows in the future.

Or two, you can throw every idea in your brain in the general vicinity of the screen, aware that success is never guaranteed and you may never have another shot.

Sure, the result of the second course of action might be complete and utter chaos that audiences won’t know how to process and networks won’t know how to sell. Still, at least you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you left nothing on the table.

October is typically home to a plethora of horror-themed content, released just in time for spooky season, and the biggest highlight of this year’s offerings is the supernatural horror-comedy Hysteria! With a rockin’ cast, a compelling story, and palpable energy, Hysteria! is a charming new show that will win the hearts of both today’s teens and those who grew up in the era in which it is set.

Hysteria! Review

Hysteria! is set in a conservative small town in the late 1980s amid the Satanic Panic, as a group of teenagers with a garage band decide to start a fake cult to make themselves more popular. When a local boy is found murdered, things get out of hand, and they become involved in a conspiracy that is bigger than they ever could have imagined.

Hysteria! — “Can I Play With Madness?” Episode 103 — Pictured: (l-r) Emjay Anthony as Dylan Campbell,...

Peacock‘s coming-of-age thriller series “Hysteria!” is set to tackle the era of Satanic Panic, with heavy metal and actual Satanism sowing generational division in a small conservative town in Michigan. And what’s Michigan horror without actor Bruce Campbell?

The actor guest stars as Chief Dandridge in the series, set to premiere all episodes on Friday, October 18, 2024.

“Hysteria!” follows a group of 1980s high school misfits as they exploit the growing hysteria around teen occult activity, written and executive produced by Matthew Scott Kane (Stitchers) and David Goodman (The Orville). Caught in the middle of the mounting tension between adults and teens is Campbell’s police chief.

Unlike his most iconic character, Ash Williams, Chief Dandridge prefers logic and science. Though he isn’t your typical small-town police chief. That’s because he treats the teens with respect and compassion, a far cry from the typical parents in suburban set ’80s horror.

October is the month that's all things spooky, so of course there's going to be two new shows premiering on Peacock in October 2024 that fit that bill! We'll get to that in a moment. This month, the streamer has a variety of offerings including new shows and the debut of two new docuseries'. Those are definitely always interesting! Check out the list below:

Reggaeton: The Sound That Conquered the World (docuseries) - Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024Queens Court season 2 - Sunday, Oct. 6Teacup - Thursday, Oct. 10Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist (finale) - Thursday, Oct. 10Anatomy of Lies (docuseries) - Tuesday, Oct. 15Hysteria! - Friday, Oct. 18

We're definitely excited about all of these, but I'm most looking forward to getting into the Halloween spirit with some horror shows. And there's two spooky additions on Peacock to check out!

I don't know if it's just because I'm really missing the show or there's more to it, but watching the Hysteria! on Peacock trailer is just giving me Stranger Things vibes and I'm so here for it. And though the Netflix series is already dark, this one looks to be even darker. So I think that if you're a fellow Stranger Things fan like me, you'll want to check out Hysteria! too!

The new horror thriller premieres Friday, Oct. 18, 2024 with all 8 episodes on Peacock. That's right, it's going to be a binge-watch. I personally think these episodes should have had more of a weekly release instead. But, that's what the streamer wants I guess. We shared the trailer below:

Do you see what I mean? Just the sets and being in the '80s time period is giving off Stranger Things, for sure. The two shows have a very similar look to them.

Peacock’s upcoming series Hysteria! shows a town in the grips of a Satanic Panic — emphasis on the “satanic” part.

The streamer has released a full trailer for the show, which premieres Oct. 18 and centers on three high schoolers (Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia and Kezii Curtis) whose heavy-metal band decides to lean into the fear caused when the high school quarterback goes missing and a pentagram is painted on the teen’s garage. Their makeover as satanists, however, unleashes forces — both among their peers and, possibly, with something otherworldly — that soon spin out of their control.

The trailer — which greatly expands on an earlier teaser — also shows a teenage girl (Nikki Hahn) being abducted by a creepy masked intruder and a woman (Julie Bowen) being stalked by an unseen entity. Watch it below.

“What are those kids up to? Whatever it is, it can’t be good.”

That fear haunts every generation.

Who wants to travel back to a time when the most significant threat to the nation was a red-scaled demon with a bifurcated tail and great taste in music? That’s right, folks!

Here’s the official (and lengthy) synopsis for Hysteria!:

“What are those kids up to? Whatever it is, it can’t be good.”

That fear haunts every generation. Children of the Atomic Age went on to terrifying their families by turning on, tuning in and dropping out in the sixties. Those same “free spirits” went on to vote for Reagan and called for censorship of the “obscene” and “satanic” heavy metal bands their own kids worshiped. Now, those kids are adults who rail against pronouns,...

Peacock, fresh off its huge Olympics surge, is transitioning back to its regular offerings — including a 1980s-set thriller revolving around the Satanic Panic of the era.

The streamer has released a teaser and set an Oct. 18 premiere date for Hysteria!, a drama in which a high-school heavy metal band decides to capitalize on the panic — then find themselves in deeper than they meant to be.

Julie Bowen is back on TV, but she is far from the feel-good nature of “Modern Family.”

The “Happy Gilmore” actress leads upcoming Peacock series “Hysteria!,” which is set during the “Satanic Panic” of the late 1980s. In the trailer, Bowen is shown as a ’80s housewife who is rocking out with her Walkman…until her microwave seems to become possessed by a “Ghostbusters”-esque demon.

The official synopsis reads: “When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize that they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band. This is until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported ‘supernatural activity’ triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.”

Julie Bowen is returning to TV in Peacock’s “Hysteria!” and things are getting spooky, that is, if they’re even real.

In the teaser for “Hysteria!,” released Monday, the “Modern Family” star goes about her day cooking and cleaning as a 1980s housewife until a strange interruption causes the lights to flicker and her house to shake.

By the time the event stops, Bowen thinks she’s in the clear — until she spots the face of a demon in her microwave, which proceeds to splatter into red globs.

The new series, which also stars Anna Camp (“Pitch Perfect”) and Bruce Campbell (“The Evil Dead,” “Army of Darkness”), will debut on Friday, Oct. 18, on Peacock, USA Network and Syfy. All episodes will be available on Peacock, while USA Network and Syfy will simulcast the premiere episode on Oct. 18 with USA Network airing new episodes each Friday.

The official logline for...

Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead franchise is getting an animated series, it’s been confirmed. Here are a few more details of what’s coming.

The Evil Dead franchise is having a rennaisance thanks to Lee Cronin’s successful 2023 entry Evil Dead Rise. Earlier this year, Sébastien Vaniček was attached to direct and co-write a new spin-off film. Francis Galluppi wil write and direct the next Evil Dead film.

According to Deadline, while promoting his latest Peacock series Hysteria, franchise stalwart Bruce Campbell has confirmed he will reprise the role of Ash in an animated Evil Dead series.

Campbell said that “we are developing an animated version, like a series. I’ll do that. I’ll do Ash’s voice all day long because my voice hasn’t aged as much as I have. The trick is to take the elements that people like, which is innocent people being tortured by a malicious entity,...

Bruce Campbell announced his live-action retirement from the Ash Williams role after the cancellation of Ash vs Evil Dead in 2015.

Now, while promoting his latest Peacock series, Hysteria, Campbell revealed news of his next project as Williams.

“We are developing an animated version, like a series,” he said to Entertainment Weekly. “I’ll do that. I’ll do Ash’s voice all day long because my voice hasn’t aged as much as I have.”

The actor said that the series relies on the strength of the premise. “We’re out of the cabin, Sam [Raimi] doesn’t have to direct, I don’t have to star as Ash,” Campbell said. “The trick is to take the elements that people like, which is innocent people being tortured by a malicious entity, and it’s people who have no skills to stop it.”

Meanwhile, Hysteria — created by Matthew Scott Kane — also stars Julie Bowen,...

HBO’s Southern Gothic limited series “Sharp Objects” finished its run in August, but it’s about to be back in the conversation with the 76th Golden Globe Awards not too far away. The series is primed to reap multiple nominations for its stars — and that includes breakthrough performer Eliza Scanlen, who’s seeking her first career bid, in Best Supporting Actress.

Based on Gillian Flynn’s novel of the same name, “Sharp Objects” was adapted for the small screen by Marti Noxon and directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, who helmed all eight episodes. The show follows journalist Camille Preaker (Amy Adams), who is sent to her hometown of Wind Gap to cover the murders of two pre-teen girls, Ann Nash (Keagan Baron) and Natalie Keene (Jessica Treska). Scanlen plays Camille’s sister, Amma Crellin, the innocent, obedient daughter of mother Adora (Patricia Clarkson) at home, but the mysterious, rollerskating bad girl outside of it.
