The forces behind "The End of the F***ing World" and "Stranger Things" have united for "I Am Not Okay With This" on Netflix, a coming-of-age tale about a girl with mysterious powers.
According to Variety, 21 Laps will make the series, which was co-created by "The End of the F***ing World"'s Jonathan Entwistle. The series is an adaptation of a Charles Forsman graphic novel.
In the novel, the main character, a regular suburban 15-year-old freshman called Sydney, has telekinetic powers that kick in at inopportune moments. She is also secretly in love with her best friend, Dina.
Like the novel, it will follow a teenage girl navigating the trials and tribulations of high school, dealing with the complexities of her family, her budding sexuality and her mysterious emerging superpowers. The Netflix series will run for eight installments.
The series will be directed by Entwistle, which Netflix will launch globally. Co-creator Christy Hall will write and executive produce. Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Dan Cohen and Josh BARRY will executive produce for 21 Laps.
