Eccentric

Eccentric is a Martonian television series created by Leroy Canavan for PCSN. The series is set in the fictional city of West Isle, Kentona and follows a group of teenagers with little to no parental authority who carelessly take drugs and have sex. Each episode has a different character as its focus, opening with a flashback of that character's past. The series stars Lori Z as Luna Leonard, a teenage girl attempting to find her place in the world who also serves as a narrator for the series.

Canavan began developing Eccentric in the late 2010s, not long after the cancellation of his first teen drama series, Slowpokes. The series is written by Canavan, Michael Marlon, Steve Brayden, Julian Liu, and Mark Southworth. Executive producers of the series include Canavan, Brayden, Seth Muir, and Lori Zane. The series is principally filmed at Jeffrey Grazer High School and The Village Studios, both in Brookshire, Brunova and NBT Studios West in Sainsboro, Kentona. A few episodes of season 2 were filmed along the coastline of Kearney, Kentona. Eccentric is produced by Leroy Canavan's own Canavan Productions, in association with Gray Bird Films, South Shore Pictures, and PCSN Studios.

Eccentric premiered on June 3, 2022 on PCSN. In September 2022, acquired the international distribution rights to the series, and it premiered internationally on October 1, 2022. The show was praised for its cast (particularly Lori Z, Payton Sampson, Desmond Pagulayan, and Kevin Charles), story, character development, and approach to its mature subject matter.
