If you could find out the consequences of a lifetime of choices before you make them, would you?

In Paper Girls, it’s the day after Halloween, 1988, when four young friends get caught in the crossfire of a war between time-travelers while delivering newspapers in their neighborhood. They get zapped into 2019, where they must both face being hunted by said time-travelers, and reckoning with their adult selves, and it’s a toss-up as to which is more terrifying.

Based on a comic book by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, the series does give off kind of a gender-swapped Stranger Things vibe, judging by the trailer, which features a rural setting overlaid by supernatural forces and overrun by creepy bad guys. But this show also adds the time travel element, bringing the action into the very recent past.

The show, coming to Amazon Prime on July 29th, is called “a high-stakes personal journey depicted through the eyes of four girls,” according the official description. Tiffany Quilkin (Camryn Jones), Erin Tieng (Riley Lai Nelet, Altered Carbon), Mac Coyle (Sofia Rosinsky) and KJ Brandman (Fina Strazza) “are out on their delivery route when they become caught in the crossfire between warring time-travelers, changing the course of their lives forever. 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,” the logline continues. “In order to survive, the girls will need to overcome their differences and learn to trust each other, and themselves.”

Comedian Ali Wong plays the grown-up version of Erin who must justify her adult life to her younger self. Nate Corddry and Adina Porter also star.

Vaughan and Chiang are executive producing and Christopher C. Rogers (Halt and Catch Fire) is showrunning.
