Netflix is tapping into 90s nostalgia. The streaming service has ordered ten episodes of the dramedy series, Everything Sucks!
Created by Ben York Jones and Michael Mohan, the series — a Netflix production — is described as a quirky, funny coming-of-age story that follows two groups of high school misfits, an A/V club and a Drama club who collide in 1996 Oregon. Peyton Kennedy (American Fable) and Jahi Winston (The New Edition Story) star as students Kate Messner and Luke O’Neil, with Patch Darragh (Boardwalk Empire) and Claudine Nako (Grimm) as their respective parents. The series also features Sydney Sweeney (Emaline), Elijah Stevenson (Oliver), Quinn Liebling (Tyler) and Rio Mangini (McQuaid).
Jones and Mohan serve as executive producers. Mohan will also direct the bulk of the episodes, with Ry Russo-Young helming some episodes as well. Jeff Pinkner, Scott Rosenberg, Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec from Midnight Radio also executive produce.
