Netflix has set a premiere date for 'Penelope,' a coming-of-age series co-created by Mark Duplass and starring Megan Stott.

Per the official logline, Penelope is “a 16-year-old girl who, feeling deeply out of place in her contemporary surroundings, leaves her life and family behind and treks into the wilds of Washington State. Speaking to Variety in March, before “Penelope” landed at Netflix, Duplass explained the model, wherein the company is creating multiple series without seeking production funds from larger studios in order to retain creative control and worldwide rights. In February, the streamer announced that it had bought the Shane Gillis comedy “Tires,” which it renewed for a second season ahead of its late May premiere.
