Mark Duplass and Mel Eslin have created an all-new young adult series. The first episode of the show was screened at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. A total of eight episodes of Penelope will stream on Netflix starting September 24.
DBP president Mel Eslin also served as showrunner and directed the series. During the pandemic, he co-wrote the show with Mark Duplass. Mark’s brother Jay Duplass is executive producing with Shuli Harrell.

Plot Overview: What to Expect from Penelope
