Hysteria! Series Premieres on Peacock October 18

Peacock's upcoming series 'Hysteria!', premiering on October 18, 2024, delves into the cultural phenomenon of the 'Satanic Panic' in the 1980s. The storyline follows a high school heavy metal band that exploits the town's fears surrounding the occult after the mysterious disappearance of a varsity quarterback, only to become embroiled in a series of murders and kidnappings. The series stars notable actors including Bruce Campbell, Julie Bowen, and Anna Camp, and is executive produced by Matthew Scott Kane and David A. Goodman. The co-creators describe the project as exploring generational fears and the chaotic nature of youth amidst societal paranoia. The first episode will be simulcast on USA Network and SYFY, with subsequent episodes airing weekly. 'Hysteria!' aims to capture both the thrills of rebellion and the anxieties of growing up in a changing world.
