PEN15, the Hulu comedy series about two best friends navigating the ups and downs of middle school, will not be returning for a third season. Creators Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle, who are both in their early thirties, play 13-year-old fictionalized versions of themselves. Witnessing and the trials and tribulations of 7th grade through the eyes of two adults was hilarious, heartbreaking, and ultimately cathartic.
ADVERTISEMENT Although I am bummed that PEN15 is over, I am pleased to say there are plenty of brilliant shows that give me my coming-of-age fix. Teen TV shows are on another level right now. I was recently re-watching The O.C., a teen drama series from the early 2000s that showcases wealthy, white teens living in Orange County, California, and I realized how differently teens are portrayed now compared to 20 years ago.
Sex. Drugs. Social Media. HBO’s groundbreaking and steamy series Euphoria gives you all the Gen-Z drama with a “viewer discretion is advised” warning label. Based on an Israeli miniseries of the same name, the show centers around a group of high schoolers navigating issues like trauma, addiction, and the hardships of growing up. The show is led by Zendaya, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of troubled teen Rue.
