Social media has been a frequent source of comedy — itll even be a pretty central aspect to ABCs upcoming sitcom Selfie. In its next pilot season, a show called Hysteria will follow a town where a strange psycho-physiological illness causing violet fits and spasms appears to be spreading through social media. The show will be an hour long, and, like other Amazon pilots, whether or not it gets turned into a full series depends on viewers response. [Hysteria writer Shaun Cassidy] is known for creating shows with layers of mystery, depth of character, and topical themes, Roy Price, director of Amazon Studios, says in a statement.
