Watch the teaser for Jonah Hill and Emma Stone's new Netflix series

California - Jonah Hill and Emma Stone are starring in a new TV series that tackles sensitive issues of mental illness and the pharmaceutical industry.

The Netflix series, a black comedy titled Maniac, follows two participants of a murky late-stage pharmaceutical drug trial.

Hill plays a man diagnosed with schizophrenia, while Stone plays a woman fixated on broken relationships.

Both sign up to test a mysterious pill believed to cure anything about the mind, but things do not go as planned.

Cindy Holland, vice president of Netflix original series, announced that it would debut 21 September. 

Holland called Maniac a "thought-provoking, fever dream of a show."

The actors starred opposite each other in the 2007 teen comedy Superbad.
