No, there isn't a supervolcano brewing beneath New England, despite what some media outlets (https://www.google.com/search?q=supervolcano&oq=superv&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i60j69i57j69i60l2j0.2124j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) are saying.*
That said, something weird is going on about 100 miles below the lush New England ground.
Scientists have found a mass of warmer rock that appears to be welling upwards. This research, led by geophysicist Vadim Levin, appeared last year (https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article-abstract/46/1/87/522870/seismic-evidence-for-a-recently-formed-mantle?redirectedFrom=fulltext) in the scientific journal Geology.*

"We never advocated it could lead to volcanism," Levin, who performs research at Rutgers University–New Brunswick's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, said in an interview. Read more... (https://mashable.com/2018/06/27/no-supervolcano-under-new-england/)
