Creepy Teaser Trailer For Netflix Thriller Series WAYWARD Starring Toni Collette & Mae Martin — GeekTyrant
The show is created by comedian/writer Mae Martin, who previously made the series Feel Good , as well as the Netflix stand-up special SAP .
The series is co-showrun by Mae Martin & Ryan Scott, with writing by Martin, Scott, Evangeline Ordaz, Mohamad El Masri, Kim Steele, Kayla Lorette, Alex Elbridge, and Misha Osherovich, and episodes directed by Euros Lyn, Renuka Jeyapalan, John Fawcett.
The series synopsis reads: 'In the picture-perfect town of Tall Pines, sinister secrets lurk behind every closed door. Not long after police officer Alex Dempsey (Mae Martin) and his pregnant wife Laura (Sarah Gadon) move into their new home, he connects with two students Abbie (Sydney Topliffe) and Leila (Alyvia Alyn Lind) from the local school for "troubled teens" who are desperate to escape and could be the key to unearthing everything rotten within the town.
'As Alex begins investigating a series of unusual incidents, he suspects that Evelyn (Toni Collette), the school's mysterious leader, might be at the center of all the problems. Created by Mae Martin, Wayward is a thrilling and genre-bending limited series about the eternal struggle between one generation and the next, what happens when friendship and loyalty are put to the ultimate test, and how buried truths always find a way of coming up to the surface.'
This show is a bit of a conundrum for me, as I typically watch anything Mae Martin is in, but I don't love horror. This looks like it's going to be pretty creepy, but I may just have to check it out.
Watch the trailer below, and stream Wayward on Netflix starting on September 25th.

Tomi Lahren On The Popularity Of Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Ad: 'Americans Like Buying Things From Attractive People'
Host of Outkick's 'Tomi Lahren Is Fearless' Tomi Lahren joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to share her thoughts on the online left-wing backlash that has ensued following Sydney Sweeney's new ad campaign with American Eagle. 'Listen, woke is dead, and they're having a really hard time coming to grips with that. I think it's a few-stage, you know, program that they have to go through, because they're used to seeing fat green-haired with septum piercings, and they/them's. That's what they're used to. They're used Dylan Mulvaney in a prom dress and pearls selling us Bud Light. And that was what was working for them 2020 to probably 2023. So they're still having a hard time coming off of that high. They'll adjust. It'll just take probably a couple of years.' Lahren Says Democrats Have Been Absolutely Captured By The Activist Class Tomi also gives her take on Jimmy's new Fox News op-ed about how Bud Light can save its brand.
