The series Dare Me is based on the novel of the same name by Megan Abbott. The show takes place in a small town in the Midwest and is both a murder mystery and a coming-of-age tale. This film explores the bonds between cheerleaders and the determination they share for their careers.
The USA Network sitcom has Megan Abbott not just as a writer, but also as an executive producer. Six years ago, it was thought that Fox’s Natalie Portman-starring film Dare Me would premiere in theatres. The speculation may have slowed down over the years, but the show was officially greenlit in January of 2019 and given a November premiere date.
The first season of the show was well-received by critics, who praised its “visceral qualities” and “moody atmosphere.” The fate of a second season of Dare Me has fans wondering if the show will return. OK, here’s the scoop about the upcoming season.
Is there going to be a season two of “Dare Me?”
Starting on December 29, 2019, it aired on the US Network and ran until March 8, 2020. After the original network passed on the show, Netflix picked it up on December 29, 2020, and immediately debuted it on their streaming service, bypassing cable altogether. The first season consists of 10 episodes, each of which runs between 42 and 52 minutes in length.
For its focus on real-life events and motivational stories that encourage viewers to embrace better lifestyles, the USA Network decided to cancel the show. Netflix allowed the show to reach an audience and build a devoted fanbase before its cancellation. The show’s devoted viewers are still demanding more episodes, and they’re showing their approval by signing petitions calling for a third season.
Netflix hasn’t reacted to these petitions, and viewers are understandably frustrated because the streaming service hasn’t explained why it chose against renewing the show for a second season.
Can You Tell Me Who Else is in Dare Me?
Show participants included:
- Herizen Guardiola as Addy Hanlon

In all, How Many Episodes Does Dare Me have?
There are a total of ten episodes in the Dare Me season, and each one lasts between 42 and 53 minutes.
If There Had Been A Second Season of Dare Me, What Would Have Happened?
Many of us are still curious about the show’s potential future developments if Dare Me had been given a second season. The following is our best guess at what would have occurred. Knowing that the author and showrunner, Megan Abbott, barely went through half the book in Season 1, it is likely that Season 2 will continue from the original material and tell us more about what exactly happened to Sarge Will.
What becomes of Hanlon and Beth’s friendship, what happened to Kurtz, will Mr. Coach find out what Coach French has been up to, and many other issues that were meant to be answered in Dare Me Season 2 if it had been renewed are still unanswered by the cancellation.
