‘High School’ trailer stars TikTok creators playing teen versions of Tegan and Sara
TikTok creators Railey and Seazynn Gilliland play the teen versions of Grammy-nominees Tegan and Sara in upcoming series High School, with a trailer out today giving a first look.
Based on Tegan and Sara’s 2019 memoir of the same name, the series follows the identical twins through, you guessed it, the trials and tribulations of high school. Set in Calgary, Alberta during the ’90s at the height of rave and grunge culture, the series draws directly from the artists’ own experiences.
