First look at Euphoria star's new Netflix drama
The first trailer for Penelope, a new coming-of-age drama starring Euphoria's Austin Abrams and Little Fires Everywhere actor Megan Stott, has been unveiled.
The eight-part series, which is heading to Netflix US on September 24, sees Stott play the title character, a 16-year-old girl who leaves her life and family behind to trek into the wilds of Washington State.
The offical logline continues: "As she establishes an alternative life for herself, survivalism and coming-of-age coalesce in this poignant journey toward self-discovery."

The trailer opens with Penelope leaving a voicemail for her mother, saying: "I'm sorry for leaving like that. It's not you, I'm not running away. I feel like I'm running towards something. It's like I'm being called. Please don't go looking for me."
With that, Penelope makes a life for herself in the wilderness and meets some people along the way, including Sam (Abrams), Helena (Krisha Fairchild) and Peter (Rhenzy Feliz).
Penelope is created by Mark Duplass and Mel Eslyn, while Jay Duplass and Shuli Harel serve as executive producers.
