Netflix has released a first teaser trailer for its series adaptation of Charles Forsman’s superpower coming-of-age graphic novel I Am Not Okay With This. The series comes from the producers of Stranger Things and the director of The End of the F***ing World, Jonathan Entwistle. The series stars It actors Sophia Lillis and Wyatt Oleff.
I Am Not Okay With This is “an irreverent origin story that follows a teenage girl named Sydney, who’s navigating the trials and tribulations of high school, all while dealing with the complexities of her family, her budding sexuality, and mysterious superpowers just beginning to awaken deep within her. Sydney is described as an awkward and smart girl with a dry, witty, sardonic sense of humor. Though Sydney views herself as painfully average, she is far from it, as she discovers she has telekinetic powers which may prove to be problematic.”
Sophia Lillis takes on the role of Sydney, and Wyatt Oleff plays Stanley Barber. The cast for the series also includes Kathleen Rose Perkins (Episodes) as Maggie, Sofia Bryant (The Good Wife) as Dina, Aidan Wojtak-Hissong (Falling Water) as Liam, and Richard Ellis as Brad Lewis.
The series will premiere on Wednesday, February 26th.
