Peacock has unveiled a teaser trailer for a series called Hysteria, taking us back to the days of the insane hysteria of “Satanic Panic” in the late 1980s. Written by and executive produced by Matthew Scott Kane and David Goodman, Hysteria debuts streaming in October. The original new horror-comedy series follows a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts who use the town’s sudden interest in the occult to start a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a strange series of events triggers a witch hunt that leads back to them. So basically a crime thriller meets 80s dark comedy? Julie Bowen and Anna Camp star along with Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia, Kezii Curtis, and Nikki Hahn. With recurring guest stars including Bruce Campbell (Ash is in town, baby!), Garret Dillahunt, Nolan North, Elijah Richardson, Milly Shapiro, Allison Scagliotti, & Jessica Treska. There’s not much to this teaser – Julie Bowen dancing and a demon showing up in a microwave. You’ll have to wait for more footage before this arrives in October.
Here’s the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Peacock’s series Hysteria, direct from Peacock’s YouTube:
