‘Wayward’ Trailer – Toni Collette Solves the Problem of Adolescence in Netflix Limited Series
You’re going to be very happy at “Wayward,” which explores the eternal struggle between one generation and the next, what happens when friendship and loyalty are put to the ultimate test, and how buried truths always find a way of coming to the surface.
The eight-episode limited series streams September 25 on Netflix. Sinister secrets lurk behind every door in the trailer below.
Not long after police officer Alex Dempsey and his pregnant wife move into their new home in the picture-perfect town of Tall Pines, he connects with two students from the local school for “troubled teens” who are desperate to escape.
As Alex begins investigating a series of unusual incidents, he suspects that Evelyn, the school’s mysterious leader, might be at the center of all the problems.
The show is created by Canadian comedian Mae Martin (“Feel Good”), who shares showrunner duties with Ryan Scott (“Fear the Walking Dead,” “Servant”).
Martin stars alongside Toni Collette. Sarah Gadon, Sydney Topliffe, Alyvia Alyn Lind, and Brandon Jay McLaren round out the main cast.
Recurring cast members include Tattiawna Jones, Isolde Ardies, and Joshua Close, while Patrick J. Adams, Patrick Gallagher, Gage Munroe, Byron Mann, and Mark McKinney guest star.
Euros Lyn (“Doctor Who,” “Heartstopper”), Renuka Jeyapalan (“Kim’s Convenience,” “Ginny & Georgia”), and John Fawcett (“Orphan Black,” Ginger Snaps) direct.
Martin and Scott also serve as writers with Evangeline Ordaz, Mohamad El Masri, Kim Steele, Kayla Lorette, Alex Eldridge, and Misha Osherovich.
Martin describes the genre-bending series as “if you took the kids from Booksmart and put them in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”
Netflix announced today that the fan-favorite series “Devil May Cry” has been renewed for a third and final season following the recent debut of season two.
Created by “Castlevania” showrunner Adi Shankar, the animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game introduces a world where sinister forces seek to open a portal between the human and demon realms.
Caught in the middle is orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire Dante, unaware that the fate of the balance falls to him.
Across its two seasons, the series has appeared on the Netflix Global Top 10 for four weeks, with season one accumulating 21.7M views in 2025, and season two already off to a strong start, accumulating 6.4M views in just two weeks. All of which to say that the rapid renewal for the third and final season doesn’t come as a surprise.
“For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time. This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make up ‘The Force Edge Saga.‘ Since its inception, ‘The Force Edge Saga‘ was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series,” Shankar said of the announcement.
The voice cast for “Devil May Cry” Season 2 is led by Johnny Yong Bosch (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”) as Dante, Robbie Daymond (“Critical Role”) as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) as Lady.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his second season review for BD, “Winning chemistry between Dante and Vergil, as well as a narrative that isn’t afraid to put other characters in the spotlight, helps this season overcome some of the past season’s hurdles. This is a tight, economical season that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but part of the charm and impact is weakened the second time around. “
Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.
Catch up on the first two seasons now streaming on Netflix.
