GIRL FROM NOWHERE

Starring Chicha Amatayakul, “Girl From Nowhere” is a Thai-language television anthology series following Nanno, an enigmatic girl who transfers to different schools and has the ability to expose everyone’s different stories of hypocrisy that made its first broadcast on August 8, 2018, on GMM 25.

PREMISE:

A girl named Nanno (Chicha Amatayakul) enroll in various schools in order to enact revenge on problematic students and teachers, provides a template for virtually limitless stories, and the show’s basis in real-life events gives it a grounded quality despite Nanno’s obvious otherworldliness and the somewhat fantastical methods of payback she sometimes employs.

SEASON 2 DETAILS:

The latest season premiered on Friday, May 7, 2021, on Netflix.

Nanno is back, doling karmic retribution to more students and faculty in a new season of this anthology series — and this time, she’s not alone.

Nanno is a mysterious girl who frequently changes school to avenge the bullies. She plays dirty tricks to trap them and give them cruel punishments for their sins. This time, it is a new semester and obviously new victims.

Girl From Nowhere Season 2, like the first season, lives and dies on the strength of Nanno as a character. She remains an excellent creation, brilliantly embodied by Amatayakul as a malleable entity who can switch from quiet and unassuming to sexually provocative to outright terrifying at a moment’s notice. Her chameleonic nature means she has no arc, really, but is instead a conduit through which other stories can be told. The show’s mission statement is really about putting power back into the hands of victims, and Nanno is the means by which that is achieved; she’s the idealized avenger of every high-school student wronged by predatory males, social dynamics, corruption, or any of countless other things that afflict boys and girls — though particularly girls — of that age.
