Oh, and the creator of Netflix’s The End of the F***ing World is on board, too. Looks like the algorithm may have found another good match here. Learn more about the new series below.
So it turns out that this show’s lead character Sydney and Eleven from Stranger Things may 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 writing a John Boyega/Letitia Wright romance movie called Hold Back the Stars, is writing this series. She co-created the show with Jonathan 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 World season 2 is also coming to Netflix, so it sounds like Entwhistle has a busy few months ahead of him.
