Multiple outlets report that there will not be a second season of the series based on the novel of the same name by Megan Abbott. 

The series delved into the cutthroat world of competitive high school cheerleading. It followed the fraught relationship between two best friends after a new coach arrived 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 suburban world.

The series starred Willa Fitzgerald as the coach and Herizen Guardiola and Marlo Kelly as the best friends. Additional series regulars included Rob Heaps and Paul Fitzgerald.

The novel from Megan Abbott explores the themes of friendship, sexuality, competition, murder and power through the world of high school cheerleading. But Abbott and Gina Fattore, the creative team behind the adaptation, opted to make it a coming-of-age drama rather than a crime series. 

“We were always much more interested in the ‘internalities’ of adolescence, rather than the things that technology or social media change. You date yourself so quickly if you focus too much [on the latter], so we really tried to focus on the elements of being a young woman with feelings of yearning, the desire for more experience, that sense of wanting things that are just beyond your reach, and the feeling that you have power but also being thrown into situations where you’re suddenly aware of your powerlessness,” Abbott told Variety.

“I have told coming-of-age stories on so many shows; it’s really my favorite kind of show. I looked at the book in that way and saw instantly the chance to make the first season really a classic coming-of-age story about a relationship with an older person that changes your life,” Fattore added.

“Sometimes that’s a romantic relationship, but sometimes it’s not, and in this case it’s a mentor relationship. That territory felt perfectly applicable to TV.”

Dare Me premiered on USA on December 29th.
