Netflix's 'The Innocents' takes an even more darker turn in its second trailer

Netflix's bizarre new series 'The innocents" took an epic turn when June realized her mother was a shapeshifter too.

Netflix's 'The Innocents,' second trailer is out and it gets even more bizarre. Earlier this year, Netflix received critical acclaim for a British series about teen runaways 'The End of the F***ing World.' The streaming service hopes for the same kind of success with 'The Innocents.'  While 'The End of the F***ing World' featured an apparent-psychopath protagonist, 'The Innocents' features a young woman who shape-shifts.

The series premise is already bizarre. When teenagers Harry (Percelle Ascott) and June (Sorcha Groundsell) run away from their repressive families to be together, they’re derailed by an extraordinary discovery - June’s ability to shape-shift. Only, it is not a blessing. June's magical ability leads her to trouble. As the star-crossed lovers struggle to control this strange new power, a mysterious professor reveals that June is not alone: there are more shifters out there like her, and he promises to cure June and reunite her with the mother (played by Laura Birn) who deserted her three years ago. But as their journey becomes increasingly fraught with danger, Harry and June's love for each other is tested to breaking point and they're faced with a choice: keep their innocent dream alive, or embrace that their lives have changed and risk everything.
