Read on to find out more about the upcoming thriller series set in the late 1980s.

Modern Family star Julie Bowen to star in Peacock series Hysteria!

According to Variety, the plot tells the story of a beloved varsity quarterback who disappears during the “Satanic Panic” of the late 1980s. Moreover, a high school heavy metal band, struggling for gigs and fame, realizes they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult. In fact, the outcasts decide to build a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of kidnappings, murders and “supernatural activity” triggers a witch hunt that leads directly back to them.

Bowen is set to play Linda Campbell in the thriller series, the mother of one of the teenage outcasts. She experiences a series of supernatural disturbances, forcing her to question all she knows about her son. Naturally, it also leads her to question the growing threat of Satanism in her small, Midwestern town.
