Premise
The story begins when former best friends Rowan and Hailey find themselves tagged in an online video showing a murder. They reluctantly team up to find the third girl tagged in the video, an outcast named Elisia, to determine whether the footage is real or a prank7. A series of violent videos from the unknown user 'monkeyman' then targets Hailey, Rowan, and Elisia, three high school students whose pasts are inexplicably connected2.
Season 1 episodes carry hashtag titles, a device that mirrors the series' social media subject matter. The premiere, "#shotgun", aired on July 18, 2016, and the finale, "#monkeyman", aired on September 12, 2016, with the truth about the sender revealed at a party on the final night of a countdown7.
Cast and characters
The central trio is played by Lulu Antariksa as Rowan Fricks, Katelyn Nacon as Elisia Brown, and Lia Marie Johnson as Hailey Jensen5. The supporting cast includes Timothy Granaderos as Ash Franklin, Lukas Gage as Brandon Darrow, Nick Fink as Jake Brown, Danielle Savre as Ms. Dawson, Kurt Caceres as Officer Fricks, Claudia Sulewski as Nicki Sullivan, Braeden Lemasters as Trevor Askill, and Noah Centineo as Hawk Carter5 • 1. Antariksa, Nacon, Granaderos, Fink, Savre, and Caceres appear in all 35 episodes, while Johnson appears in 24 and Gage in 313.
Nacon, who also played Enid in The Walking Dead, described the series as showing what can go wrong with social media and how it can be dangerous. In the first season her character Elisia, coping with death and loss, turns to social media and encounters users who encourage her self-harm, a storyline Nacon cited as an example of unhealthy coping being validated online8.
