When Natalie’s sister Grace becomes the prime suspect in her roommate Molly’s murder, Natalie leaves her life in Boston and heads to London to defend her.

“Dead of Summer” starring Elizabeth Mitchell, Elizabeth Lail, Zelda Williams, Mark Indelicato, Alberto Frezza, Eli Goree, Ronen Rubinstein, Amber Coney and Paulina Singer, is set in the late 1980s. School has just let out for the summer and a sun-drenched season of firsts beckons the counselors at Camp Stillwater, a seemingly idyllic Midwestern summer camp, including first loves, first kisses — and of course, first kills. Stillwater’s dark, ancient mythology awakens, and what was supposed to be a summer of fun soon turns into one of unforgettable scares and evil at every turn. From ABC Signature Studios and executive producers Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis, Ian Goldberg and Steve Pearlman, the series.
“Cheer Squad” which premieres Monday, August 22 at 10:00 p.m. EDT, will air nightly as a special two-week programming event!
