Amazon’s first Paper Girls trailer shows a time-hopping coming-of-age epic

Hot on the heels of last week’s teaser, Amazon Studios released another full trailer of its upcoming sci-fi drama series Paper Girls.

Adapted from Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang’s 2015 graphic novel series, the eight-episode television series follows the story of four paper girls, Erin, Mac, Tiffany, and KJ, who find themselves caught in the crossfire between two warring factions of time-travelers on Halloween morning in 1988. To escape being captured by their captors, the girls find themselves accidentally transported back to 1988.

A new trailer provides a better look at both the premise, and the first scenes of the series. The result is something that feels like a hybrid between the two.

In addition to Erin’s previously revealed older self portrayed by Ali Wong, we also see glimpses of older versions of Tiffany in a nightclub and KJ kissing another woman in a bedroom. That’s not even mentioning the white-armored time-travelers chasing the girls through a forest firing laser rifles or what look to be purple robotic fireflies swarming across Erin’s wounded abdomen.
