Netflix's Wayward build up to a dramatic finale full of twists - but where did each character end up? The limited series, which premiered on Thursday, September 25, introduced a pleasant (yet sinister) town and explored the dark side of the troubled teen industry. Mae Martin created and starred in the show, which also featured Alyvia Alyn Lind, Sydney Topliffe, Toni Collette and Sarah Gadon. After Leila (Lind) broke into Tall Pines Academy at the beginning of the show to help her friend Abbie (Sydney Topliffe), the teenagers spent the rest of the season looking for ways to escape.
