New trailer for Netflix’s Wayward welcomes us to the mysterious town of Tall Pines

August 29, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

With just under a month to go until Wayward arrives on Netflix, the streamer has released a new poster and trailer for its new mystery thriller series.

Taking place in the mysterious town of Tall Pines, the series follows a police officer who returns to his hometown with his pregnant wife and becomes embroiled in an investigation into a local school for troubled teens, where it soon becomes clear that the facility, and its mysterious leader, may not be all it seems.

The cast includes Mae Martin, Toni Collette, Sarah Gadon, Sydney Topliffe, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Brandon Jay McLaren, Tattiawna Jones, Isolde Ardies, Joshua Close, Patrick J. Adams, Patrick Gallagher, Gage Munroe, and Byron Mann. Watch the trailer below…

“In the picture-perfect town of Tall Pines, sinister secrets lurk behind every closed door. Not long after police officer Alex Dempsey (Mae Martin) and his pregnant wife Laura (Sarah Gadon) move into their new home, he connects with two students Abbie (Sydney Topliffe) and Leila (Alyvia Alyn Lind) from the local school for “troubled teens” who are desperate to escape and could be the key to unearthing everything rotten in the town. As Alex begins investigating a series of unusual incidents, he suspects that Evelyn (Toni Collette), the school’s mysterious leader, might be at the center of all the problems.”

Wayward arrives on Netflix on September 25th.
