Peacock’s coming-of-age thriller “Hysteria!” is set to tackle the era of Satanic Panic, and the official trailer has arrived ahead of the show’s premiere on Peacock this October.
All episodes of “Hysteria!” premiere on Friday, October 18, 2024.
Additionally, USA Network and SYFY will simulcast the first episode on October 18 with USA Network airing episodes each Friday. Watch the “Hysteria!” official trailer below.
Written and executive produced by Matthew Scott Kane (Stitchers) and David Goodman (The Orville), “Hysteria!” explores 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 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, kidnappings, and reported “supernatural activity” triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.”
Garret Dillahunt (The Last House on the Left), Nolan North (Pretty Little Liars), Elijah Richardson (Fantasy Football), Milly Shapiro (Hereditary), Allison Scagliotti (Warehouse 13) and Jessica Treska (Alex & Me) star alongside Bruce Campbell, Julie Bowen, Anna Camp, Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia, Kezii Curtis, and Nikki Hahn.
Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts will helm the premiere episode.
John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Dungeons & Dragons, Game Night) executive produce. Chris Bender and Jake Weiner (Under the Silver Lake) exec produce for Good Fear.
Matthew Scott Kane and David Goodman said in a new statement, “[The series is] about the thrills of being young, rebellious in spirit and aspirational at heart – and the horrors of growing up and realizing that the world you thought you knew has shifted beneath your feet. Our hope is that parents and children (of the appropriate age, of course) can enjoy the chills, the laughs, the music, and the heart of Hysteria! together. Growing up is scary. So is parenting.”
