[tv trailer] Maniac

[Arthur]

Maniac is an upcoming American black comedy web television series, based on the Norwegian television series of the same name by Hakon Bast Mossige and Espen PA Lervaag, that is set to premiere on 21 September 2018 on Netflix. The series is written by Patrick Somerville, directed by Cary Fukunaga, and stars Jonah Hill and Emma Stone.

 

Maniac follows "Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim, two strangers drawn to the late stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial, each for their own reasons. 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."
