Apple TV+ is heading to the beach for its Surfside Girls series trailer, which teases a seaside adventure for the whole family. Surfside Girls is based on the IDW graphic novel series of the same name by Kim Dwinell. In the Surfside Girls series trailer, best friends Sam (Yaya Gosselin) and Jade (Miya Cech) solve supernatural mysteries in their sleepy California beach town. To uncover the paranormal puzzles that hide beneath the surface of their town, they must combine their polar opposite strengths of imagination and logic.
Based in the town of Surfside, the girls uncover a gold coin that washes up on the shore. After following clues to a nearby cave, the girls meet a pirate ghost in the form of a young boy named Remy (Spencer Hermes-Rebello). Together, the trio discovers the treasure is cursed, and an ancient evil will be unleashed if they don’t solve the mystery.
While the Surfside Girls series trailer boasts magical coins, secret caverns, ghostly figures, and gnarly waves, summertime fun is the show’s heart. Much like the source material, Surfside Girls tells a story about how two different girls come together to form an unlikely bond. Working alongside one another is the only way they’ll solve the mystery of Surfside, and they’ll need to venture into the unknown to do it.
WGA Award winner May Chan (American Girl: Corinne Tan, The Astronauts) served as showrunner and wrote, and executive produced, and co-developed the adaptation alongside Alex Diaz and Julie Sagalowsky Diaz (The Shannara Chronicles, What’s Up Warthogs!). The first two episodes of the series will be directed and executive produced by America Young (Roswell, New Mexico, Legacies). Paul Stupin (Switched at Birth, Dawson’s Creek), Lydia Antonini (Locke & Key, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn), IDW’s Paul Davidson, and Jeff Brustrom, also executive produced the series.
Other books in the Surfside Girls series of graphic novels include Surfside Girls: The Mystery at the Old Rancho and The Science of Surfing.
