After the huge success of Adolescence, Netflix is ready with another thriller, Wayward that deals with the troubles of teenage and teenagers who seem to be in a perpetual war with the generation before them. Starring Tony Collette as the headmistress of a school in Oregon that claims to solve the problems of adolescence, the show promises to be a chilling ride.
Talking about the name of the show, creator Mae Martin said,
“Tall Pines [the show’s original title before it was changed to Wayward] is a story I've been dying to tell for years, and I'm beyond excited for people to see what we have in store! It's going to be an insane roller coaster and so different to anything I've done before. Very very grateful to Netflix for supporting it, and I can't wait to get going.”
Set to release at some point in 2025, let us now explore streaming and other details of Wayward.

More about Wayward
Wayward stars Toni Collette as the headmistress at the school, Tall Pines, which is the central place of action in the show. The cast also includes Sarah Gadon, Sydney Topliffe, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Patrick J. Adams, and Mae Martin, to name a few.
According to Netflix,
“Wayward is a thriller set in a bucolic but sinister town that explores the insidious underbelly of the 'troubled teen industry' and the eternal struggle between one generation and the next.”
Talking about the theme of the show and what it aims to do, Mae Martin said,
“I hope this show ignites the rebellious teenagers that exist in all of us. And, most importantly, let’s acknowledge that my hair is now several shades darker than previously, indicating that I am now in fact a serious actor.”
Euros Lyn, who was previously associated with the acclaimed show Heartstopper, serves as a director and executive producer on Wayward and explained his experience on the show, saying,
“Directing a stellar ensemble featuring Toni Collette, Sarah Gadon, and Mae Martin is a dream come true. I'm excited to bring this original blend of thriller, comedy, and horror to life, and to shed light on the troubled teen industry.”
