@thewrap: #Penelope, a new TV series that premiered Tuesday on #Netflix, follows the story of a 16-year-old girl who leaves her life behind to build a new one closer to nature. The premise sounds like a parent’s worst nightmare. It likely would have been handled far more scandalously in other creative hands. But the new teen drama from #MarkDuplass and #MelEslyn, starring #LittleFiresEverywhere standout #MeganStott, makes a bolder statement about young life through its quieter approach. “I really wanted an example for my daughters to be able to watch someone who’s living a life that feels quite different from how they live,” Duplass said. Eslyn added that the chance to explore a complex subject matter for a younger audience and “create a new rhythm that we hadn’t seen yet was thrilling, but also very scary.” Swipe to learn how the star and creators of “Penelope” made the heartwarming and thought-provoking new series.
