‘I Am Not Okay With This’ Is A New Series About A Super-Powered Girl From ‘Stranger Things’ Producers Coming To Netflix

Years ago, Netflix admitted that they use analytics to determine which shows to greenlight, and it seems as if their algorithms were working overtime to find the best fit between producers and subject matter for their newest announcement. The producers ofStranger Thingsare returning to the streaming service with a show calledI Am Not Okay With This, an adaptation of a comic book about a teen girl with telekinetic powers. (Does that description sound familiar?)

Oh, and the creator of Netflix’sThe End of the F***ing Worldis on board, too. Looks like the algorithm may have found another good match here. Learn more about the new series below.

Varietybroke the news aboutI Am Not Okay With This, a new show that, likeThe End of the F***ing Worldbefore it, is based on a graphic novel byCharles Forsman. Here’s the description of the graphic novel fromAmazon:

So it turns out that this show’s lead character Sydney and Eleven fromStranger Thingsmay not have that much in common after all. It sounds like Sydney, whose gangly frame recalls that of Popeye’s gal pal Olive Oyl, doesn’t have a handle on her powers like Eleven does, meaning that the emergence of her powers could be a more traditional metaphor for puberty and the difficulties that come with growing up.

Christy Hall, an up-and-coming screenwriter who’s writinga John Boyega/Letitia Wright romance movie calledHold Back the Stars, is writing this series. She co-created the show withJonathan Entwhistle, who will also serve as its director. Variety says the show “will run to eight installments,” but it’s unclear if that means that the plan is to only feature eight episodes in the entire series, or if that’s just how many episodes will be included in the first season.

Meanwhile,The End of the F***ing Worldseason 2is also coming to Netflix, so it sounds like Entwhistle has a busy few months ahead of him.
