'Pen15' Season 2 : Meet Maya Erskine, Anna Konkle and rest of the cast of the Hulu comedy
For those of you who enjoyed the first season of 'Pen15', when it premiered last February, will be excited to know that the show is returning for a second round, this month. The Hulu comedy chronicles the awkward tales of seventh grade best friends Maya Ishii-Peters and Anna Kone. The second season will have 14 episodes -- the first seven will premiere on September 18 and the last seven will premiere in 2021. The premiere date for the latter half of the episodes is yet to be revealed.
The series follows two 13-year-olds played by Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle who are your typical outcasts trying to figure out the perplexing world of middle school and what exactly growing up is all about. Set in the year 2000, 'Pen15' is hailed as a coming-of-age series as the duo navigate the awkward phases they experience through seventh grade.
E! News reported that Season 2 will pick right where Season 1 left off after "what happened between Maya, Anna, and Brandt at the dance." The publication also revealed, "The saga continues between the three, and additional episodes feature the girls dabbling in wrestling, witchcraft and welcoming a new friend into their midst that really tests these BFFs."
