Netflix's 'The Innocents' already looks addictive
Watch Next

The announcement for Netflix's upcoming The Innocents declares "What you see is not what you see," followed by the thrilling "Love changes everything." We know right away that this is a twisted – possibly tragic – love story shrouded in mystery, and we're ready for it.

The Innocents is the story of June (Sorcha Groundshell) and Harry (Percelle Ascott), two teenagers who run away from home with nothing but each other and a lot of emotional baggage. According to a release from Netflix, "Secrets kept from them by their respective parents test their love to breaking point; and the extraordinary gift they possess unleashes powerful forces intent on dividing them forever." So yeah, they may also have superpowers. BRING IT.

The eight-episode series was created by Hania Elkington and Simon Duric, and is produced by New Pictures.

The Innocents does not yet have a release date.
