Penelope, an upcoming young adult series produced by Duplass Brothers Productions (DBP) and created by Mark Duplass and Mel Eslyn, is set to debut soon on Netflix in the U.S. The series follows the life of Penelope, a 16-year-old girl played by Megan Stott, who feels increasingly alienated in modern society. Struggling to find her place in a world that seems too fast, too disconnected, and too overwhelming, Penelope’s life takes an unexpected turn when she is drawn into the mysterious and untamed wilderness.

In her search for solace and meaning, Penelope begins to build a new life for herself in the wild, forging unexpected relationships and discovering hidden parts of her identity. The series delves into themes of self-discovery, isolation, and the healing power of nature as Penelope navigates this new chapter of her life. She is joined by Sam, a complex and enigmatic figure, Helena, a wise and weathered soul with secrets of her own, and Peter,whose presence adds to the unfolding mystery.

As Penelope grows in this uncharted world, she must grapple with the emotional and physical challenges of her new life, balancing her desire for freedom with the forces pulling her back to civilization. Penelope promises to be a compelling coming-of-age story that explores the tension between escaping society and finding one’s true self, set against the backdrop of a wild, unpredictable landscape.
