Peacock Cancels Bruce Campbell's Hysteria! After One Season

Peacock has canceled the supernatural horror series Hysteria! after one season, despite its critical acclaim and a 91% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The show, which premiered in October 2024, explored the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980s and featured a high school heavy metal band caught in a series of mysterious events. The cancellation is attributed to low viewership as it did not make Nielsen's top 10 streaming charts, although exact figures were not disclosed by Peacock. This decision follows a trend where critically successful, yet low-performing shows face cancellation, leaving fans disappointed. Hysteria! starred Bruce Campbell and a strong ensemble cast, and was created by Matthew Scott Kane. The show remains available for streaming on Peacock, despite not being renewed for further seasons.
