Get Your First Look at the PEN15 Animated Special

August 19, 2021

Even though it’s deeply personal and honest and vulnerable in its examination of early teen years right at the turn of the millennium, there is also something magical about PEN15. Maybe that’s a credit to Anna and Maya playing their tween versions of themselves or just how special their friendship really is.

In any case, the prospect of seeing the duo drawn up for a very, very special episode of PEN15 makes us curious how much more magical (and hysterically resonant to all millennials) their bond can be. From the looks of this trailer for the PEN15 Animated Special, we’re all about to go deeper into Maya and Na’s world than ever.

See for yourself here, then look for the premiere of the PEN15 Animated Special on Hulu on Fri. Aug. 27th.

Animation has been a saving grace for many a show throughout the last year and a half including No Activity and One Day at a Time and it looks as though that will continue to be the case as PEN15 has just announced that it will have an animated special due out next month.

Other shows have opted to try doing a special via Zoom (Mythic Quest did a pretty smashing job with that), but that can’t really be an option for PEN15 as Zoom has several years before being invented and dial up not being the only option for an Internet connection.

This very special episode will be technically be part of season 2 and titled “Jacuzzi” and is due out on Hulu on Fri. Aug. 27th. So, you will actually have a much needed hit of PEN15 while you’re anxiously awaiting season 3.

This does have us imagining, if they did have a functioning, open teleconferencing platform, Anna and Maya would waste most of their time turning their cameras on and off depending on how “secret” whatever secrets they’re divulging really are.
