Emma Stone and Jonah Hill in first look pictures of new Netflix series Maniac

The duo star in the black comedy about a pharmaceutical trial gone awry

Emma Stone and Jonah Hill are two strangers engaged in a bizarre pharmaceutical trial in the first images for the new Netflix series Maniac.

The highly anticipated black comedy was created by True Detective director Cary Fukunaga.

The series is a remake of the Norwegian show of the same name, by Hakon Bast Mossige and Espen PA Lervaag, which aired in 2014.

In the pictures Oscar-winner Emma and Wolf Of Wall Street star Jonah can be seen dressed in grey uniforms seated in reclining chairs with panels around their head.
