PEN15 has just wrapped its two season run on Stan.
Created by Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle, and Sam Zvibleman, the Hulu original, stars Erskine and Konkle as 13 year old versions of themseleves.
They also serve as executive producers alongside Zvibleman, Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, Becky Sloviter, Marc Provissiero, Brooke Pobjoy, Debbie Liebling, and Gabe Liedman.
PEN15 is described as middle school as it really happened. Erskine and Konkle – who were both 31 years old at the start of season 1 play versions of themselves as 13-year-old social outcasts in the year 2000, surrounded by actual 13-year-olds, where the best day of your life can turn into your worst with the stroke of a gel pen.
I loved this show over it's on and off two/three year run. With a spilt second season (including an awkward animated episode) due to COVID we got two mini seasons of the final series over two very difficult years, where comedy matter most.
Streaming on Stan in Australia this is one of those odd ball shows that Stan actually struck gold with. Like Love Life and other thirty minutes series like Hacks, sometimes Stan's random one off agreements really pay off for their subscribers.
I find I end up watching more Stan than other streamers due to their quality over Netflix style quantity. We will see how their local summer series fair.
Until next time, where guess what? You are back off to the movies.
