As a seasoned cinephile who’s seen more than a few sunsets on the silver screen and lived through the 80s satanic panic, I can confidently say that Hysteria! is a breath of fresh air in today’s sequel-driven landscape. The blend of horror and comedy, with Bruce Campbell as Chief Ben Dandridge, takes me back to those good old days when parents were terrified of their children listening to rock music.
After Halloween has passed, one of the standout new horror series to emerge during the spooky season was most likely Peacock’s show, titled “Hysteria!“. This series revolves around a small-town rock band that uses the satanic panic of the 1980s as a means to gain popularity. Notably starring Bruce Campbell, it portrayed an enticing mix of horror and humor, offering a blast from the past for those who remember the fear of Lucifer’s influence on parents during that time. With all eight episodes produced and some plot threads left unresolved, fans are now wondering if there will be a second season of “Hysteria!“.
In an interview with Bloody Disgusting, Campbell hinted that a final decision about the future of “Hysteria!” hasn’t been made yet. However, should the question be posed, he would undoubtedly revisit Happy Hollow, Michigan.
“Well, I am under contract, so, if they want me to come back, I will gladly come back. I think they’re running the analytics now, honestly, because the show dropped and you can get all eight episodes on Peacock. I recommend doing that; get Peacock. If you don’t have Peacock and you still want to watch it, USA, every Friday after wrestling. Friday nights, about 10:30 or something at night, it’s on. A lot of ways to find it. Either way, find it because it is a good show.”
Developed by Matthew Scot Kane, this series has been highly praised with a 90% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and an 89% Popcornmeter score, indicating widespread agreement about its quality. This positive reception suggests that the show is likely to be successful in a second season.
What Can We Expect in ‘Hysteria!’ Season 2?
Regarding the upcoming Season 2 of Hysteria!, it’s challenging to predict at this stage. However, one intriguing question remains: is the supernatural element portrayed in the series genuine? Although Julie Bowen’s character, Linda, wasn’t truly possessed, there was a final scene showing a demon outside her bedroom door.
The question then arises about the future of Garret Dillahunt’s character, The Reverend, and Anna Camp’s character, Tracy Whitehead. They were both arrested for murdering Ryan, but the mob seems to be on their side, creating a difficult situation for Campbell’s character. This situation is bound to escalate, leading to a significant confrontation between them. As he stated, “This needs to reach its climax. This needs to result in an intense one-on-one encounter.
I’ve been considering the idea that we should work together. Here’s why: He seems genuinely concerned about this issue, as am I, and I believe our combined knowledge could help us tackle it effectively, whatever it may be. This isn’t a definitive plan, but it might just show there’s potential for collaboration. Plus, having more resources often makes a significant difference in a project, which is crucial for any show, right?
In the role of Chief Dandridge, Campbell expressed that he wished for such a police figure in his small town, later adding, “Recently, cops and citizens haven’t always seen eye to eye. It’s crucial to present an alternate perspective of law enforcement.” One of the appealing aspects of Hysteria! was indeed the depiction of a multi-faceted police officer, showing empathy and patience instead of the stereotypical portrayals as aggressive individuals.
Without a doubt, there’s potential for another round of “Hysteria!“, yet whether we get to experience more depends on the whims of the television deities.
While we eagerly await the final decision from above, let’s continue hoping that we receive even more of the unique show Hysteria!, as it stands out among the current offerings, especially considering today’s trend of sequels, spin-offs, and reboots. Originality deserves recognition, so it’s worth celebrating such a fresh concept.
