Paper Girls Photos Set Debut Date for Amazon's Sci-Fi Adventure Series

Amazon Studios has finally dropped the first official photos for Paper Girls, the upcoming series adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang’s graphic novel of the same name. The coming-of-age sci-fi adventure is scheduled to make its debut on July 29.

“I love this show,” Vaughan said in a statement. “The extraordinary cast feels ripped from the pages of our comic. And whether you’ve read every issue of Paper Girls or are just starting the ride here, there will be huge surprises in store for you this epic first season.”

The photos, which you can check out below, feature our first look at the main quartet of Mac, Tiffany, Erin, and KJ, as we get a preview of their time-bending adventure. Two of the photos also include our first look at Ali Wong as the adult version of Erin.

Paper Girls is described as a high-stakes personal journey depicted through the eyes of four girls. It will be led by a young cast including Camryn Jones as Tiffany Quilkin, Riley Lai Nelet as Erin Tieng, Sofia Rosinsky as Mac Coyle, and Fina Strazza as KJ Brandman. Ali Wong, Nate Corddry, and Adina Porter are also appearing in the series.

“In the early morning hours after Halloween 1988, four paper girls—Erin, Mac, Tiffany, and KJ—are out on their delivery route when they become caught in the crossfire between warring time-travelers, changing the course of their lives forever,” reads the synopsis. “Transported into the future, these girls must figure out a way to get back home to the past, a journey that will bring them face-to-face with the grown-up versions of themselves. While reconciling that their futures are far different than their 12-year-old selves imagined, they are being hunted by a militant faction of time-travelers known as the Old Watch, who have outlawed time travel so that they can stay in power. In order to survive, the girls will need to overcome their differences and learn to trust each other, and themselves.”

Paper Girls is a production by Amazon Studios and Legendary Television, in association with Plan B. Executive producers are Vaughan, Chiang, Christopher C. Rogers, Stephany Folsom, Christopher Cantwell, and Steven Prinz.
