Netflix Heads to the '90s with Series; Suburgatory Star Gets Hulu Series
Netflix, the world's leading internet TV network, has ordered ten episodes of Everything Sucks! A quirky, funny coming of age story that follows two groups of high school misfits, Everything Sucks! follows an A/V club and a Drama club who collide in 1996 Oregon. The series stars Peyton Kennedy (American Fable, The Captive) and Jahi Winston (The New Edition Story) as students Kate Messner and Luke O'Neil, with Patch Darragh (Sully, 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").
The 10-episode, half-hour dramedy is created by Ben York Jones (Like Crazy, Newness) and Michael Mohan (Save the Date, Pink Grapefruit), who will both serve as executive producers. Mohan will also serve as director for the bulk of the series, with Ry Russo-Young directing episodes as well. Jeff Pinkner (Lost, Fringe), Scott Rosenberg (October Road, Life on Mars), Josh Appelbaum (Alias, October Road) and André Nemec (Alias, October Road) from Midnight Radio will also serve as executive producers. Everything Sucks! is a Netflix production and will premiere in 2018.
Jane Levy (Suburgatory, Don't Breathe) has been cast in Hulu's upcoming original drama series Castle Rock. Levy will play Jackie, the death-obsessed, self-appointed historian of Castle Rock. Sissy Spacek (Carrie) has also been cast in Hulu's upcoming original drama series Castle Rock. Spacek will play Ruth Deaver, estranged adoptive mother of Henry (Andre Holland), a retired professor whose fading memories may hold a key to Castle Rock's unsettling past.
