Netflix seems to have added another winner to its stable of upcoming star-studded movies and TV shows this, if the recent teaser release of dark comedy 'Maniac' is anything to go by.

The series, created by 'True Detective' season 1 director Cory Fukunaga, is all set to premiere on September 21 and stars the likes of Jonah Hill and Emma Stone in a plot based on a Norwegian series.

Hill and Stone play strangers united during a strange trial for a drug treatment that is supposed to cure any mental illness or anguish of sorts. As you can expect, all the drama goes down once the drug fails to perform as expected. 

With Justin Theroux and Sally Field rounding out the main cast, the first teaser does just what it's supposed to - highlighting Theroux's character, Dr. Mantleray's optimism, as he firmly states, "The mind can be solved."
