Netflix will soon release the new edgy series titled Teenage Bounty Hunters about 16-year-old
fraternal twins who team up with a veteran bounty hunter to uncover secrets of their
small community. Based on the trailer, while doing so, they will also be having their regular
teenage life involving coming of age routine and first crushes. Well, you know: all that
normal teenage stuff plus bounty hunting.
Shortly after the trailer was released, people started saying the show is going to be huge
and that it will be very much appreciated by the fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Today we will tell you what makes this show so special and why you should also be excited
to see it very soon on Netflix.

The first question we had after watching the trailer was - Are the actresses twins in real
life or it was just a case of a really good casting? Maddie Phillips and Anjelica Bette
Fellini are not only unrelated, but they also have a big age gap between them. Fellini is
15 and Phillips is (wait for it!) - 25! All right, we are kind of used to adult actors
playing teenagers, but here the show producers have taken things to a whole new level. We
can't wait to see how the actresses nailed it. Based on the trailer - perfectly well.
Even though Anjelica Bette Fellini is super young, she has already appeared in several
productions, including TV series The Gifted where she portrays Twist.
Maddie Phillips, being older and more experienced, has acting roles going back to 2013. She mostly
had one-time guest roles on established shows like Lucifer and Supernatural. She has also
been in a handful of feature films, including If I Had Wings and Considering Love and Other
Magic.
Both young stars have a couple of thousands of followers so far, but let's make a bet:
those figures will skyrocket after the series premiere.
Teenage Bounty Hunters is not just another high school drama aimed at making money using
younger audiences. Just in case you thought so. For Showrunner Kathleen Jordan this series
is something quite personal as it is based on her childhood in a conservative Atlanta
neighborhood. She explains:
"A lot of the stories we tell in the show are based on my own fantasies of how I wish
I'd acted at my preppy Christian high school. Sterling and Blair live out a lot of my teenage
vulnerabilities — Sterling with her need to be liked and to excel, and Blair with her
desire to stand out. And kiss boys."
In this self-discovery in combination with action-packed adventures, Jordan wanted the
two teenage girls to express themselves freely and honestly. She adds:
"Sterling and Blair certainly run into challenges when it comes to their sexuality, but they
also get to be in control and at the center of the narrative."
Fun fact: the series was originally titled Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters, but apparently
someone decided it was too much and could unnecessarily drive away possible audiences.
The show is set to premiere on Netflix on August 14. Social media is already buzzing
about the upcoming release, with users expecting it to be something fresh and funny. Many believe
the mood of the new show will somehow resemble the one of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
If you haven't seen the latter show, it will definitely help you pass time before the Teenage
Bounty Hunters premiere.
