We had a group of must-know up-and-coming actors swing by our San Diego Comic-Con interview studio last weekend! It’s the cast of Prime Video’s Paper Girls.
The show is an adaptation of the graphic novels written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Cliff Chiang. The story focuses on four 12-year-old paper girls just starting their routes in the wee hours of the morning on November 1, 1988, aka Hell Day. Things do get a little rowdy in Stony Stream the day after Halloween, so when the girls are attacked by some bullies, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise — that is until that attack ends with the foursome time traveling to 2019.
Paper Girls is a rather ambitious production in a number of respects. Not only does the show involve time travel and other sci-fi elements that call for significant set pieces and effects, but this out-of-this-world adventure is also tethered to deeply personal journeys for all four girls. While that may seem like a challenging combination for four stars on the rise to tackle, the group insisted that past experience, excellent scripts and source material, and A+ scene partners were just what they needed to excel as Erin (Riley Lai Nelet), Mac (Sofia Rosinsky), Tiffany (Camryn Jones), and KJ (Fina Strazza).
