‘Paper Girls’ Teaser Trailer Time Warps from 1989 to 2019
A gang of bike-riding kids accidentally discover a time travel machine and come face-to-face with a future self in the ‘Paper Girls’ teaser.
Production for Paper Girls has been swift and silent – we weren’t even really sure it was happening until the creators had a chat with Entertainment Weekly and gave us exclusive images. Now that the show’s premiere is only a month away, Amazon Prime gave us a teaser that shows a 1989 version of a girl named Erin meeting her 2019 self – played by Ali Wong.
All About Paper Girls
Amazon Prime’s Paper Girls show is based on the Image comic of the same name by Brian K. Vaugn and Cliff Chiang. It’s a story about the young girls who took over paper routes as newspapers were dying out in the late 80s. It’s the kids-on-bikes coming-of-age formula we know and love. But one thing makes it a little different (I mean besides the fact that it’s about girls.) These girls discover a time machine. And in so doing, they stumble into a space-time war – and also their future selves.

Thanks to the trailer, we know that there will be a major hop from the years 1989 to 2019. Woof. No wonder Ali Wong’s character drops the ‘f’ bomb.
