Just hours after Halloween night in 1988, four twelve-year-old girls stumble into a mission that sends them tumbling through time in Paper Girls, a 2022 adventure series blending sci-fi with coming-of-age drama.
What is Paper Girls about?
The show follows four newspaper delivery girls whose ordinary predawn route turns into something far stranger in the hours following Halloween 1988. Caught in a conflict far bigger than anything in their small town, the girls are thrown across different points in time as they try to find a way home and make sense of what they have stumbled into. Along the way, the series leans on their friendship and their clashing personalities as the anchor for a story that keeps shifting eras and stakes around them.
About the cast
Camryn Jones, Riley Lai Nelet, Sofia Rosinsky and Fina Strazza make up the core group of girls at the center of the series, with Georgi Banks-Davies directing. The four leads carry most of the show's emotional weight, playing characters who have to grow up fast while still sounding like the twelve-year-olds they are.
Context & significance
Paper Girls is a United States production set primarily in the late 1980s, using that period's aesthetic and pop culture as a backdrop for its time-travel plot. Each episode runs around 40 minutes, giving the adventure and sci-fi elements room to breathe alongside the more grounded drama of four kids trying to hold onto their friendship under pressure. The show sits in a lane familiar to fans of coming-of-age genre television, but its structure — jumping the girls between different points in time — gives it a shape of its own.
