Mae Martins Netflix thriller Wayward gets a creepy teaser with Toni Collette

We love Toni Collette in creepy mode, and we love the idea of comedian and Feel Good star Mae Martin making a rare pivot to thriller. You’ll get both in Netflix‘s Wayward, a new limited series created by and starring Martin with Ryan Scott.
In the teaser above, you’ll get glimpses of a creepy facility in the woods called Tall Pines, where “troubled teens” attend under the watch of a strangely smiley founder (Collette). It’s not clear what secrets this place holds, but Collette’s unsettling welcome suggests you can check in anytime you like but you might never leave. It’ll be up to new police officer in town Alex Dempsey (Martin) to investigate, after two students (Sydney Topliffe and Alyvia Alyn Lind) tip him off.
Martin told Netflix’s Tudum blog the show is “like if you took the kids from Booksmart and put them in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”
Wayward hits Netflix Sept. 25.
