Netflix has released the first teaser for its series adaptation of Charles Forsman's superpower coming-of-age graphic novel called I Am Not Okay With This. The footage features Sophia Lillis and Wyatt Oleff, actors who also starred in Andy Muschietti's film adaptation of IT. The teaser doesn't reveal the superpower elements of the show but it gives us an hilariously awkward look at the show's two main characters, Sydney (played by Lillis) and Stanley Barber (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."
The series comes from the producers of Netflix's popular series Stranger Things and the director of The End of the F***ing World.
Other cast members include Kathleen Rose Perkins (Episodes) as Maggie, Aidan Wojtak-Hissong (Falling Water) as Liam, Sofia Bryant (The Good Wife), and Richard Ellis as Brad Lewis.
I Am Not Okay With This is set to premiere on Netflix on February 26.
