Wayward sneak peek
Wayward is a limited thriller series set in a picturesque small town that hides a dark and dangerous side. The story uncovers the insidious world behind the so‑called “troubled teen industry,” showing how abuse and control can be masked as treatment and rehabilitation.
Setting and atmosphere
The action unfolds in a scenic community whose calm surface conceals manipulation, violence, and long‑buried secrets. This contrast between postcard‑perfect surroundings and a toxic institution creates a tense, unsettling atmosphere throughout the series.
Central theme
Wayward focuses on the hidden mechanisms of residential programs for vulnerable teenagers and the damage they inflict on young people and their families. By following the characters inside this system, the show exposes how easily exploitation can be justified as “therapy” or “tough love.”
