Bell, and Alison Thornton all played recurring parts. “Dare Me” is based on the book of the same name by Megan Abbott, who serves as writer and executive producer on the series along with Gina Fattore.

“‘Dare Me’ is a wicked thriller that practically demands that its audience gorge upon it. It’s lush and seductive, a fact that it’s both aware of and uses to chilling effect. Even when its directing leans too hard on slow-mo, its use of shifting perspectives makes it consistently fascinating,” Framke wrote.
