Everyone loves a time travel show right now, from The Umbrella Academy to Loki to Dark and beyond. Same goes for shows set in the '80s — let's see: Stranger Things, GLOW, The Haunting of Bly Manor. Throw them together and you've got Paper Girls, a time-travelling mystery series that we're absolutely onboard with.

Following the first teaser, Prime Video has released its official trailer for the upcoming series. Based on the comics by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, the series follows four friends and newspaper deliverers KJ (Fina Strazza), Erin (Riley Lai Nelet), Mac (Sofia Rosinsky), and Tiffany (Camryn Jones).

It's 1988 in Cleveland, Ohio, the day after Halloween, and the four they accidentally find themselves beamed forward to 2019 — where their adult selves are too (including Ali Wong as grown-up Erin). They've gotta save the world, of course, but they've got to outrun the militant faction of time-travellers known as the Old Watch, who have outlawed time travel.

All eight episodes of Paper Girls come to Prime Video on July 29.
