Netflix has debuted the visually stunning first trailer for Maniac.
This sci-fi-tinged miniseries from Cary Joji Fukunaga stars Emma Stone (The Amazing Spider-Man) and Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street) as as “two strangers drawn to the late stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial, each for their own reasons.”
The pair find themselves undergoing some seriously mind-bending treatments from Justin Theroux’s Dr. James Mantleray, and repeatedly encounter one another across a variety of different scenarios and "realities," some of which look pretty fantastical.
Check out the trailer below along with a synopsis and let us know what you think. Maniac premieres Sept. 21 on Netflix.
"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.
