Netflix’s Latest Teen Series Is A Cross Between The End Of The F***ing World And Stranger Things
Fans of Netflix's
The End Of The F***ing World right now have two things to look forward to:
Season 2 of the British hit as well as a brand new series from the duo beyond it.
I Am Not Okay With This will be coming to the streaming giant in the form of an eight-episode series, based on the graphic novel by Chuck Forsman (who also wrote the graphic novel upon which
TEOTFW was based) and adapted for TV by Jonathan Entwistle (who, you guessed it, also adapted
TEOTFW for the small screen).
Stranger Things's Shawn Levy will add his supernatural touch as an executive producer.
Not Okay is a coming-of-age story about a teen girl navigating high school, her family member, her sexuality — oh, and her newly forming superpowers.
The novel version of the story — which is an assortment of minicomics — has the same darkly comedic vibe as
TEOTFW and "comments of course on familial strain, sexual confusion, and PTSD," according to
the publisher, because the main character Sydney secretly falls in love with her best friend Dina, copes with the death of her father, and acquires telekinetic powers. It's safe to mention the storylines will be similar in the Netflix adaptation, nevertheless there were
some creative liberties taken once they re-wrote
TEOTFW.
No word nevertheless on whenever we can expect
I Am Not Okay With This to premiere, nevertheless we'll be anxiously awaiting any and all news surrounding the project.
