Netflix Series Adds Rising Star to New Series; Corporate Gets 3rd and Final Season

I Am Not Okay with This

Sophia Lillis (It, It Chapter Two, Sharp Objects) is set to lead the cast of the new comedy I Am Not Okay with This, as production begins in Pittsburgh, PA from creator/director of The End of The F***ing World and producers of Stranger Things. The series is based on the Charles Forsman graphic novel. I Am Not Okay With This is an irreverent origin story, following a teenage girl 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 from deep within her. Netflix has ordered 8 half-hour episodes. Series regulars are: Sophia Lillis (It, It Chapter Two, Sharp Objects) will play Sydney, an awkward and smart with a dry, witty, sardonic sense of humor. Wyatt Oleff (It, It Chapter Two, Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) will play Stanley Barber, adorably awkward but cool with it, Stanley is Sydney's neighbor and the polar opposite of a jock. Sofia Bryant (The Good Wife, The Code) will play Dina. Sydney's effervescent, happy, pretty, loud and funny, badass best friend. And Kathleen Rose Perkins (Episodes, You're The Worst) will play Maggie, Sydney's mother who works long hours at the local diner and has been raising her two kids on her own since the death of her husband. Aidan Wojtak-Hissong and Richard Ellis will recur in the series.


Corporate

Comedy Central announced a greenlight for the third and final season of critically-acclaimed scripted series Corporate, set to premiere in 2020. Season two of Corporate, which claims a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, premiered in January 2019 to laudatory reviews. Led by stars Jake Weisman, Matt Ingebretson, Lance Reddick, Aparna Nancherla, Anne Dudek and Adam Lustick, the season featured star-studded guests Kyra Sedgwick, Elizabeth Perkins, Kristen Schaal, Sasheer Zamata, Baron Vaughn and Andy Richter. The first season, equally praised, was included in numerous "Best of 2018" lists from outlets including The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire and TIME.

Created by Pat Bishop, Matt Ingebretson and Jake Weisman, Corporate is a dark, edgy look at life as a Junior-Executive-in-Training at your average, soulless multinational corporation. Matt and Jake (Ingebretson and Weisman) are at the mercy of a tyrannical CEO Christian DeVille (Lance Reddick) and his top lieutenants, sycophants John and Kate (Adam Lustick and Anne Dudek). As Matt and Jake navigate an ever-revolving series of disasters, their only ally is Hampton DeVille Human Resources rep Grace (Aparna Nancherla), who is beleaguered by both her job and her exhausting relationship with the very needy Matt and Jake.
