“The Society” will not return for a second season as planned at Netflix, while the streamer is also not moving forward with a second season of “I Am Not Okay With This,” Variety has confirmed.
“I Am Not Okay With This” had been renewed after its first season aired back in February, but its renewal had not been announced. “The Society” had been picked up for a second season last July. The team behind “I Am Not Okay With This” had already begun work on writing a second season.
According to an individual with knowledge of the decisions, both shows were well liked internally at Netflix in addition to the critical acclaim they received upon release, but the plug was pulled on both due to the uncertainty around when they could begin production due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic also leading to added budget increases for health and safety reasons.

A film by the brothers Pierce (Bret and Drew), The Wretched is a horror flick about a teenage kid named Ben who goes to battle with an ancient witch who is living beneath the skin of the woman next door. That’s the summary, the plot synopsis, the nut-shell on the back of the VHS cover (well erm… the press release) but there’s much more to The Wretched than that.
Ben (John-Paul Howard) is struggling with dealing with his parents’ divorce, and is staying with his Dad in a seaside town for the summer. Their relationship is strained and Ben is doing his best to mingle with the locals in order to get...

SAG-AFTRA Foundation president Courtney B. Vance, whose weekly “fireside chats” have offered messages of hope, generosity and dogged determination during the coronavirus shutdown, is cautioning against letting our guard down amid the reopening.”
I know that many of you are preparing for a few more months of continued safe-spacing in your homes,” he said tonight in his eighth video message to the union’s members. “Now, while that may not have been the timeline most of us were wishing for, I hope you’ll continue to take care of your bodies and your minds. Our health is paramount right now for getting us through this, and I hope you’ll continue to prioritize it. Remember, we’re all in this together.”

After watching Netflix's I Am Not Okay With This, two things are abundantly clear: high school is tough, and we all need a friend like Dina. The coming-of-age drama series (based on the graphic novel of the same name) centers around an angsty teenager named Sydney (Sophia Lillis) who develops superpowers, but it's the ordinary moments in her life - including her various friendships - that are the true focal points of the story.
As Syd grapples with her newfound abilities and secrets, we see rare moments of light whenever she interacts with the bubbly and outgoing Dina (played by Sofia Bryant). "She can be so confident sometimes and so sure of herself," Bryant told Popsugar about her character's "effervescent" energy. "When she's around Syd, especially, you really see it jump out. She almost is Syd's force that gets her out of her shell." Though the girls have very different personalities,...

Yeah, I Am Not Okay With This really ended like that. Warning, spoilers follow for the first season of the Netflix series. The school dance went to s—t after Sydney (Sophia Lillis), who was sort of getting a handle on her powers, used said powers and accidentally killed Brad (Richard Ellis) by making his head explode at the school dance as he read experts from her diary, and our hero went running. So, she's covered in blood, on the run, and then is confronted by a mysterious—and seemingly powered—figure. "Who are you?" Sydney asks the stranger. "Should I be afraid?" "They should be afraid," the stranger says. "Let's begin." And cut to...

Netflix's I Am Not Okay With This, based on the graphic novel by Charles Forsman, tackles a lot of topics that not just teenagers can relate to, but just about anybody: losing a parent, falling in love with your best friend, having sex for the first time, and realizing you're different from everyone else. Main character Sydney (Sophia Lillis) discovers she's got some sort of magical powers that do everything from knock down trees to make someone explode. It's when she discovers her powers, though, that she also encounters a mysterious stranger who won't stop following her around.
Halfway through the seven-episode season, after Syd has definitely figured out that she has powers and they're triggered by her anger, she starts to feel like someone is following her. She encounters the weird feeling when she's in the library with Stan (Wyatt Oleff) but can't track down anyone. It's when...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “I Am Not Okay With This,” streaming now on Netflix.
A teenage girl, seemingly in shock, walks down a dark, desolate street wearing a dress covered in blood, with police sirens wailing in the background. “Dear Diary,” her voiceover comes in, a few seconds into the walk, “Go f— yourself.”
And so begins Netflix’s seven-episode adaptation of “I Am Not Okay With This,” based on Charles Forsman’s 2017 graphic novel of the same name. If you don’t know anything about the story, such a visceral opening image likely bring thoughts of trauma and tragedy immediately to your mind; if you know other genre projects before this one, Brian De Palma’s 1976 feature film adaptation of Stephen King’s “Carrie” might also come to mind. Both of those things were intentional for series co-creators Jonathan Entwistle (“The End of the F***ing World...

“I’m a boring 17-year-old white girl,” Syd tells us early in Netflix’s new I Am Not Okay With This, before adding, “I’m not special, is what I’m trying to say.”
But a few episodes later, she warns us, and herself: “If I rage, bad things happen.”
Rage is a threat to — and from — many a 17-year-old girl, special or not. It is often the only sane response to the insane and unfair world around them. But the very act of unleashing that rage can also make...

Netflix’s I Am Not Okay with This stars It’s Sophia Lillis as an angsty teen who discovers that she has telekinetic powers.
I Am Not Okay with This may sound like a contemporary PSA shown in a mandatory Hr meeting, but it’s actually a teen-aimed Netflix television series adapting a graphic novel from Charles Forsman, the writer behind the comic source material for the streaming giant’s subversive coming-of-age series, The End of the F***ing World.
Sophia Lillis continues to parlay momentum from It and It Chapter Two, starring here as Sydney, a 15-year-old who’s already dealing with a lot of issues – grief over her war casualty father, hormonal crises and a case of body image dysmorphia – when her problems exponentially increase to supernatural levels upon the discovery that she possesses telekinetic powers; the thing is, she can’t quite control said powers,...

Netflix has unleashed the trailer for its latest comedy series aimed at teens and nostalgic adults, and it’s called “I Am Not Okay With This.” Based on a 2017 graphic novel by Charles Forsman, the series comes from the director/executive producer of Netflix cult favorite “The End of the F***ing World,” Jonathan Entwistle, and producers on the streamer’s wildly popular “Stranger Things,” a vibe that “I Am Not Okay With This” is clearly grooving to. And as a kind of superhero origin story set among grade-schoolers coming into puberty, it’s got a John Hughes vibe, also. Check it out below.
Unfolding across seven 30-minute episodes that will drop on February 26, the series stars Sophia Lillis, Wyatt Oleff (also from “It”), Sofia Bryant (“The Good Wife”), and Kathleen Rose Perkins, Aidan Wojtak-Hissong (“Falling Water”), and Richard Ellis (“Veronica Mars”).

Romance is finally on the menu for the scheming butler Thomas Barrow (Robert James-Collier) in Julian Fellowes’ “Downton Abbey” film, a follow-up to the Emmy-winning TV series. But given the 1920s time period, his same-sex relationship won’t be without its obstacles. Director Michael Engler spoke to IndieWire about Thomas’ promising romance, and the realities the filmmakers had to face in giving him even that much happiness.
“First of all, [Julian Fellowes] always wanted it to feel authentic, that even if we were creating an opportunity for Thomas like one he hadn’t had before – more romantic and a bit of an awakening – that we didn’t also soft-pedal it, that we make sure that the rough parts of it felt rough,” said Engler.
Engler had directed several episodes of the original series, including the series finale Christmas special that ended on an optimistic note for most of the characters. At the time,...
