Now this is some of the best news we have heard in a while. The much-anticipated reimagining of the classic series Scare Tactics by Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions is set to premiere on Friday, October 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on USA Network. This bold reboot will also air simultaneously across Bravo, SYFY, and E!, ensuring that no one misses out on the terrifyingly hilarious fun.
In this audacious new series, unsuspecting individuals will become the stars of their very own horror movies, thanks to a cinematic twist on the hidden camera concept. Hosted by Flip, a spectral pre-teen with a macabre love for horror films and an insatiable curiosity about human fear, each episode promises a thrilling blend of horror, comedy, and sheer unpredictability.
Viewers will witness devious pranksters set up their friends and family—referred to as “targets”—in scenarios that blur the lines between reality and fiction. From a seemingly innocent dinner party that spirals into a cannibalistic nightmare to newlyweds who find themselves caring for something far from human, the show keeps audiences guessing, laughing, and gasping in shock.
Expect to see anyone, even WWE superstars “The New Day,” fall prey to these twisted pranks. When a standard promo opportunity with Cody Rhodes takes a supernatural turn, the result is both terrifying and wildly entertaining.
Produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio in collaboration with Monkeypaw Productions and WMTI Productions, Inc., Scare Tactics is executive produced by Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, Jamal Watson, and Scott Hallock, with Elan Gale serving as the showrunner. This revival is set to redefine horror-comedy television, and fans won’t want to miss it.
