Who's in Dare Me season 1, and where have you seen the performers before? Now streaming on Netflix, the TV adaptation of Megan Abbott's eponymous 2012 novel originally aired on USA between December 2019 and March 2020. Dare Me season 1 centers on a mysterious high school cheerleading coach whose personal life piques the interest of her top students.

USA Network's 2019-2020 series Dare Me— based on Megan Abbott's novel— is a clever, dark mystery centering around the complex lives of a high school cheerleading squad and their coach. Someone's death is implied early on in the series, but the victim isn't revealed until later on.

Dare Me is a recent mystery sports drama from USA Network. The first season is also available to view on Netflix. Starring Willa Fitzgerald, Marlo Kelly, and Herizen Guardiola, the series explores the intricacies of female friendships and untangles the hidden aspects of a glamorized sport.

The recent Netflix series Dare Me follows a cheer squad at an American high school as a new coach takes the reins, which leads to a whole chain of disastrous events. Coach Colette French is portrayed by Willa Fitzgerald, who is known for her roles in MTV's Scream and The Goldfinch, as well as several other projects.

In case you haven’t been paying attention, cheerleading is getting the Gen-Z treatment, be it in Cheer, Spinning Out, or Euphoria. But it isn’t all glitters and pom-poms; it also isn’t just about cliquey politics. In 2020 cheerleading has gotten corporeal and extreme with Dare Me, the show which just concluded its first season, and is based on Megan Abbott’s bestselling 2012 novel about a group of teenage cheerleaders and their new coach.If you’ve seen the show or read the book, you kind of know that it’s edgier than most teen murder mysteries.

Set in the cutthroat world of high school cheerleading, USA Network's Dare Me blossomed throughout Season 1 as a dark and atmospheric coming-of-age thriller crossed between the stylized teen haze of Euphoria and the binge-ability of You. Centered on the co-dependent friendship between bad-girl Beth and her right hand, Addy, what starts as a teenage drama ripe with destructive desire and liberated excess soon turns darker when a beautiful and icy new cheer coach, Colette French, arrives in town.

On the Dare Meseason 1 finale, puzzle pieces begin to come together, but the result isn't a pretty or even clear picture. Beth becomes the Betty Cooper of Sutton Grove: a Nancy Drew wannabee who looks out for her best friend.  More shocking than Beth's evolution from bad girl to anti-heroine is how the French's put their particular spin on"til death do us part."

Dare Me is a new show on USA that shows an alternate high school reality. It is based in an Ohio rural town and focuses on a high school cheer team whose goal is to go to regionals. A new coach is hired, but there is an air of mystery hiding in every dark corner of the show.

With a new year comes resolutions (green juice, gym time, and kale) and something slightly more exciting — the premiere of new TV shows. Along with the constant content that is available on streaming services, there is one show that people can't stop talking about, and it's called Dare Me.
