What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the USA Network cable channel, Dare Me is based on a novel by Megan Abbott and it stars Willa Fitzgerald, Herizen Guardiola, Marlo Kelly, Paul Fitzgerald, Zach Roerig, Rob Heaps, and Alison Thornton, with Chris Zylka, Taveeta Szymanowicz, Tammy Blanchard, Antonio J. Bell, and Amanda Brugel in recurring roles. The series explores the cutthroat world of competitive high school cheerleading in Sutton Grove, a small Midwestern town. It follows the fraught relationship between best friends Addy Hanlon (Guardiola) and Beth Cassidy (Kelly) after a new coach (Fitzgerald) arrives to bring their team to prominence. While the girls’ friendship is put to the test, their young lives are changed forever when a shocking crime rocks their quiet rust belt town.

Dare Me has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will USA Network cancel or renew Dare Me for season two? Netflix co-produces the show so they have first-run rights outside of the United States. That deal likely makes the show much less expensive for USA Network. So, right now, despite a big drop in the ratings, I suspect that the show will be renewed for a second season.
