Rosinskly will play Mac Coyle, Lai Nelet will be Erin Tieng, Strazza is KJ Brandman and Jones will portrait Tiffany Quilkin. Set in 1988, the plot will follow the girls as they come into contact with beings who’ve uncovered time travel which leads to voyages both to the far past and the far future where they discover how their older selves are also playing their part in “The Battle of the Ages”. A love letter to a time gone by, it explores themes like friendship and love, growing up, and discovering your place in the world. It’s sure to become one of Amazon’s biggest hits as the series it is based on also managed to gather universal acclaim across all ages. Amazon continues to explore comic book adaptations that go beyond the superhero genre and the choice to go with Paper Girls is sure to be a successful one.
