Paper Girls Cast

Meet the Paper Girls Cast Led by Riley Lai Nelet and Ali Wong

Since Prime Video’s answer to Netflix’s Stranger Things is debuting later this month, a presentation of the Paper Girls cast seems mandatory as it features several talented young actresses.

On July 29, the first live-action adaptation of the fan-favorite Paper Girls graphic novels is hitting the streaming service. The mystery sci-fi story was created by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang and published by Image Comics. Briefly, it follows the story of four teenage girls dealing with a war between time-traveling factions. Toy Story 4 co-writer Stephany Folsom will serve as showrunner, while Vaughan and Chiang are executive producers. The freshman season will see Mairzee Almas, Georgi Banks-Davies, Destiny Ekaragha, and Karen Gaviola alternating as directors.

Paper Girls is a high-stakes personal journey following four paper girls—Erin, Mac, Tiffany, and KJ—who are out on their delivery route in the early morning hours after Halloween 1988 when they become caught in the crossfire between warring time-travelers, changing the course of their lives forever,” reads the synopsis. “Transported into the future, these girls must figure out a way to get back home to the past, a journey that will bring them face-to-face with the grown-up versions of themselves and the Old Watch, a militant faction of time-travelers who have outlawed time travel so that they can remain in power. In order to survive, the girls will need to overcome their differences and learn to trust each other, and themselves.”
