Hysteria

In the show, a beloved varsity quarterback disappears and soon a bizarre series of murders leads back to a heavy metal band of high school outcasts. [Source: Variety]

Untitled Royce du Pont Series
Almost Friday Media and Danny McBride’s Rough House Pictures are teaming up to produce a television pilot centered on the short-form character Royce du Pont. The character is described as a cross between Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson, and the mockumentary format series will skewer the alpha-male archetype that those personalities peddle.
