Following up on the first teaser for the highly anticipated series that came out of last week's Television Critics Association's (TCA) summer press event, Netflix has released the first official trailer for Maniac, the streaming service's new 10-episode half-hour comedy series from director Cary Fukunaga (Beasts of No Nation, True Detective). Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street) and Emma Stone (La-La Land) star as two strangers who meet in some very unexpected ways. Fukunaga directed the first season from a script by series creator Patrick Somerville (The Leftovers), with Fukunaga, Somerville, Stone, and Hill serving as executive producers.

Based on the original 2014 Norwegian series, Netflix's Maniac premieres on September 21st and also stars Sally Field (Dr. Greta Mantleray), Sonoya Mizuno (Dr. Fujita), Aaralyn Anderson (Belle Milgrim), Geoffrey Cantor (Frank), Julia Garner (Ellie), Josh Pais (Andy), Justin Theroux (James Mantleray), Jemima Kirke, and Rob Yang (Matt Ming).

Annie's disaffected and aimless, fixated on broken relationships with her mother and her sister; Owen, the fifth son of wealthy New York industrialists, has struggled his whole life with a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Neither of their lives have turned out quite right, and the promise of a new, radical kind of pharmaceutical treatment—a sequence of pills its inventor, Dr. James K. Mantleray, claims can repair anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak—draws them and ten other strangers to the facilities of Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech for a three-day drug trial that will, they're assured, with no complications or side-effects whatsoever, solve all of their problems, permanently. Things do not go as planned.
