If you loved Desperate Housewives, prepare to be captivated by Hysteria Lane — a gripping suburban thriller set in the heart of rural New Zealand.
Behind the facade of a sleepy countryside street, where just eleven properties sprawl across 100 hidden acres, lies a web of secrets, lies, scandals, and mysteries. How could so much intrigue stay buried for so long — undetected, unnoticed, in a close-knit community?
Inspired by the idea that we may never truly know our neighbours, Hysteria Lane blends dark humour, suspense, and shocking twists to reveal the dark side of small-town life. In the genre of Desperate Housewives comes a bold, addictive story that asks: What really happens behind closed doors... and how well do we really know the people next door?
Enter Hysteria Lane — rural New Zealand as you've never seen it before
The secrets of Hysteria Lane should have been buried with the bodies.
But darkness has a habit of returning home...
After the trauma of last year, Tash and her neighbours are finally reclaiming their lives. Gardens are blooming, children are laughing, and a new wave of residents is moving in. Among them: the enigmatic Tundra and her silent old dog, Bart.

With growing tensions, dark histories resurfacing, and the haunting sense that someone—or something—is pulling the strings... the residents of Hysteria Lane are about to learn:
Some streets never stay quiet for long.
