Why 'Dare Me' Should Be Next On Your Must-Watch List

The Megan Abbott page-turner has undergone the small screen treatment - by Danielle Fowler
  • 23 Dec 2019

In the run-up to the new year, we've been pulling together a list of the must-see films soon to grace the big screen.

But if you're already in prime position on the sofa waiting for Santa to shuffle down the chimney, then there's a television series you can already get the popcorn ready for.

Enter your next binge-worthy obsession: Dare Me.

WATCH BELOW: All The Holiday Films And Series Coming To Netflix For Christmas 2019

Premiering on December 29, 2019, the US show is based on Megan Abbott's best-selling novel of the same title and has been widely dubbed a cross between Bring It On and Friday Night Lights.
Described as "part coming-of-age story, part small-town drama, part murder mystery", Dare Me exposes the "physical and psychological extremes" some women are willing to take on in order to get ahead.
So what do we know about the soon-to-be-a-hit series?

Willa Fitzgerald takes on the role of coach Colette French in the forthcoming series

What is Dare Me about?

The series closely follows the page-turning plot by Abbott and introduces viewers to the dark side of the American cheerleading world with childhood friends Addy Hanlon and Beth Cassidy steering the tale.

Widely viewed by their peers as the rulers of the competitive high school team, their powerful friendship had never been wavered - that was until new coach, Colette French, came onto the scene. 

While Addy is content to fall under French's commands, Cassidy is less tolerant - cue a devastating rift between the friends. When a death thrusts the squad into a police investigation, "their young lives are changed forever when a shocking crime rocks their quiet suburban world".

What do we know about Dare Me so far?

Calling all Gilmore Girls fans, the hit show's screenwriter Gina Fattore is the executive producer of Dare Me and if that isn't enough to guarantee your spot on the couch then we don't know what is.

Meanwhile, Friday Night Lights' Peter Berg will also take on the role of executive producer. Fans of the book will also be pleased to learn that Abbott is a writer and executive producer on the series too.

Who will star in Dare Me?

The forthcoming series will thrust a number of small screen starlets into households across the globe.

Marlo Kelly of Home and Away fame will take on the lead role as Beth Cassidy while American singer, Herizen Guardiola, will play her onscreen pal, Addy Hanlon.

Meanwhile, Willa Fitzgerald, you may recognise her from the likes of The Goldfinch and Little Women, will take on the role of Colette French.

Watch the trailer for Dare Me below:

DARE ME | Crime | Series Premiere December 29 on USA Network

When will Dare Me air?

The television series will land on USA Network on December 29, 2019.

It is not yet known when Dare Me will arrive in Australia but Netflix will co-produce and have first-run rights to the series outside of the US.

We'll keep you posted.
