Bruce Campbell Series HYSTERIA! Canceled After One Season Despite How Good It Was
Peacock has cancelled its horror thriller series Hysteria! after only one eight-episode season, and it’s a shame because the show was great! 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.”The series was so good that it had a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The cast was led by Bruce Campbell and Julie Bowen, and I’m bummed out that we wont get a second season. The show was a lot of fun, but I guess it couldn’t find its audience.The show comes from writers and executive producers Matthew Scott Kane (Stitchers) and David Goodman (The Orville).
