Set in a world somewhat like our world, in a time quite similar to our time, Maniac tells the stories of Annie Landsberg (Stone) and Owen Milgrim (Hill), two strangers drawn to the late stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial, each for their own reasons.

The series will premiere on Friday, September 21st.

Netflix’s The Innocents focuses on British teen June (Sorcha Groundsell) and her secret boyfriend Harry (Percelle Ascott), who try to run away together on her 16th birthday, when they find out she has the strange power to shapeshift.

So how exactly does this shifting work? TV Guide sat down with producers to get the lowdown on the rules: (SPOILER ALERT – read at your own risk!)

- Shifters are female only (though they can shift into males).

- Shifting has an “emotional trigger.” “So one shifter’s trigger might be anger, one’s might be love, one’s might be fear,” creator and EP Hania Elkington explained. “And the way that that trigger is determined is what emotion is it that makes you shift for the first time.”

- Shifting starts at age 16.

- Shifts can only be sparked by human contact. When the shifter is in someone else’s form, the other person is basically in a coma until the shifter goes back to their own body.

- “Be careful what you’re wearing, ’cause you’re gonna be wearing those clothes afterwards,” creator and EP Simon Duric shared.

- The shifting gene usually skips generations, but there are exceptions. If a shifter inherits the gene from their mother, they gain enhanced abilities.

- Mirrors show a shifter’s true identity.

We have a feeling that Sorcha Groundsell, who stars on The Innocents, is going to have to keep pronouncing her name for everyone.

While it may look like it’s pronounced Sor-cha, with a soft ‘ch’, it’s not.

n fact, it’s pronounced Sore-a-ka, with a hard ‘ch’ sound. If you’re confused by that, just listen to her co-star Percelle Ascott pronounce it here.

While speaking with Vogue recently, Sorcha opened up about her chemistry read with Percelle.

“It was a fairly standard process. I had an audition, after three months they called me for another and then we started with the recordings,” she recalled. “I think the fact that Percelle, who plays Harry, and I have little experience has made everything more balanced.”

“Together we have gone through a whole process and assimilated phrases like ‘Oh, my God !, we are doing this,’” Sorcha adds.

The key to Netflix’s brand new series, The Innocents, is Harry and June’s relationship.

Portrayed by Sorcha Groundsell and Percelle Ascott, the two actors opened up to Bustle about the great things about the relationship between the couple.

“Harry is the guy who would make the most noise in the room, but he’s actually the loneliest,” Percelle shared. “June helps him escape from himself, the Harry that’s in pain and has to take care of his family. June frees him from all of that.”

And since she helps him with that, he helps her with acceptance of her abilities.

“When June finds out she has this uncontrollable condition and has to accept who she is, Harry discovers that he has this ability to help her on this course of her journey of acceptance. They both give each other that sense of freedom and that’s the most special thing about their relationship.”

“It’s what we all want to find at that age, isn’t it?” Sorcha adds. “Two people finding each other and really being able to let go of any disguises they might be using to get through their young teenage life.”

She continues, “They can be very real with each other, which is something they can’t be with anyone else in their lives. That’s such a pure connection. But maintaining that relationship in the real world is going to be difficult.”

Sorcha Groundsell and Percelle Ascott are starring in Netflix’s brand new series, The Innocents, and you’re going to be hooked.

The two actors recently spoke to Bustle about the show and the reasons they were drawn to it.

“I was really drawn to these young characters,” Percelle shared. “Sometimes it’s easy to not give young characters complexities they deserve and these characters have so many dimensions and layers to them. I became obsessed with the story and what happens towards the end.”

For Sorcha, she was drawn to the story, but also to the creatives behind the show, which just happened to be full of women.

“I certainly don’t think I’ve been on a set where there have been that many women at the center of the story,” she said. “It’s an inspiring time to be a young woman in the industry — times have really changed very drastically over the last year, and in a way our show is the natural result of these changes.”

Sorcha adds, “Tthe fact that it got made and company the size of Netflix wants to back it is a huge sign that not only have times changed but they’re continuing to change and there is an interest for these types of stories led by women.”

Sorcha Groundsell is about to make her Netflix debut on The Innocents and we just found out a cool thing about her – she speaks Gaelic!

The Scottish actress opened up to Herald Scotland about learning and picking up the language from her grandmother and in school.

Knowing the language, Sorcha wants to see it represented in film.

“This is something that I’ve been thinking about a lot,” she says. “The Gaelic film industry is really underutilised.”

Sorcha continues, “There’s a lot of scope for creativity and there are a lot of great stories to be told. I think we’re due a great uprising of Gaelic culture. There’s space to do that. I would love to write in Gaelic.”

“I see Gaelic culture as a huge part of myself and my personality. It’s really important to me to have that part of Scottish culture represented.”

It would so cool to see Sorcha in a Gaelic film.

Netflix’s new series The Innocents is described as a supernatural teen romance, but really, it’s more than that.

Star Sorcha Groundsell, who plays June, spoke with The Scotland Herald about the new show, premiering on Friday, August 24th.

“At its core, it’s a show about people growing up and how difficult it can be to find out who you are, when you’re that age, a teenager and trying to find a place in the world,” Sorcha says.

She adds that the show could be a narrative for a more fluid nature of people’s identity, as well.

“It hadn’t occurred to me at all, but I think there is definitely a rise in storytelling about that kind of thing,” Sorcha says. “About the nature of identity – the outside versus the inside and all that type of stuff.”
