Addy Hanlon and Beth Cassidy star in Megan Abbott’s darkly seductive drama Dare Me. New cheer coach Colette French strains their bond. Addy, as Hanlon, is enchanted by Colette, and the two maintain secrets from each other. Colette lures the teen into the murder of Sarge Will at his apartment, intensifying their relationship.
At the end of season one, we learn Colette and Matt were involved, but we don’t know what happened the night he died. Beth is determined to show Colette’s complicity in Will’s death. She dislikes the new coach and Hanlon’s love with her. She risks exposing her dearest buddy by following that lead.
When Will Dare Me Season 2 Premiere
USA Network terminated Dare Me in April, focusing instead on reality shows.
It’s not over yet. Universal Content Productions will push the coming-of-age/small-town drama/murder-mystery combo to other outlets, so there’s hope.
It’s been a year since the cancellation was revealed, so it’s unlikely Netflix will pay for production alone.
That’s despite hopeful tweets from Netflix Helps in January 2021.
Dare Me Was A Hit For The Streaming Service
This may have influenced USA Network’s cancellation decision. It’s unusual to cancel a show that’s as popular with critics as it is with consumers; it’s been in Netflix’s top 10 most popular shows since debut.
The show’s popularity may have caused the network to debate its future too soon. Maybe they assumed Netflix wouldn’t want to lose it. We can’t help speculating about this puzzling riddle.
Universal Content Productions immediately announced it would distribute the murder mystery to other outlets. Unfortunately, no one has accepted the bait yet.
Perhaps Dare Me’s darkness hinders other networks. “When you hear a show is about cheerleading, you have so many expectations, like Bring It On,” says star Willa Fitzgerald (via EW).
“The first script’s women were difficult, messy, ugly, and magnificent. Human nature’s darkest aspect is addressed. I was delighted to explore this difficult, suppressed female lead.
Showrunner Abbott: “We didn’t want to simplify anything.” “We wanted it to be dirty and unpleasant because there’s beauty in difficult emotions. We wouldn’t compromise.
“We didn’t want it to be about mean girls, dumb girls, or other high school clichés.”
Many Viewers Appreciate The Show
TV consumers appreciate gloom, thus the show’s appeal, but networks require more convincing, especially after a series has been cancelled. The longer we wait, the more our cheerleader pyramid of hope wobbles.
Who’s In Dare Me 2
If season two is taken up, we expect these to return: Hanlon (Herizen Guardiola), Colette (Willa Fitzgerald), Beth (Marlo Kelly), Colette’s husband Matt (Rob Heaps), Beth’s half-sister Tacy (Alison Thornton), Riri (Taveeta Szymanowicz) and the cheer squad, Beth and Tacy’s dad Bert (Paul Fitzgerald), Hanlon’s mum Faith (Amanda Brugel), Beth’s mum Lana (Tam
Sarge Will (Zach Roerig) won’t be back (save in flashbacks), which leads to…
Who killed Will
Author and showrunner Abbott says the second season will continue to use source material (if another network or streaming service decides to take it on). “We get through roughly half the book in the first season,” she told Entertainment Weekly. The book is only from one character’s point of view, so it’s insular and you’re in her head.
“The show focuses on Addy, Beth, and the coach. We delve deeper into characters and team dynamics. Season two will focus on what happened to Sarge Will, according to our Spidey senses.
We know he didn’t commit suicide and that Colette and Matt were involved. We don’t know how Matt got involved or what transpired the night he died. Kurtz was questioned by police at the end of season one, and CCTV captured his brawl with Will. Could he be the murderer?
Hanlon’s mother and Beth feel she knows more than she’s saying. The cheerleader must explain herself when her Hamsa bracelet was found at the crime site. After Will’s death, Colette and Hanlon sneaked around and spotted another CCTV system. But nobody’s mentioned it.
Willa Fitzgerald said that “will come into play.” We’d expect the troubled Hanlon-Colette connection to be examined. “Addy is Colette’s kryptonite,” Fitzgerald told DS.

How Is Relations Between Colette And Addy
Colette craves Addy’s youth, promise, and independence. Their relationship is unique since she is more than a coach, friend, or mentor. “The grey is intoxicating.” “Control and dominance aren’t important to their relationship,” she said. For both of them, confusion and opportunity are seductive.
“Colette’s worldview changes when she’s around Hanlon. Being with someone so different from her changes Colette’s perspective. “They enjoy the illicit and unknown. Both want to feel more alive, I guess. Addy is Colette’s getaway from her claustrophobic life.
Her connection with Addy turns claustrophobic, though. Fitzgerald said Addy has become Colette’s “sole confidant” because she’s “isolated”. When can I watch Dare Me season 2? Friends, wait. First, save the programme and greenlight season two.
You’ll know if it happens.
