Netflix's New British Teen Series Tackles 'Everything Now'

While most streaming services and broadcast producers were struggling to come back from the pandemic in November 2021, Netflix was charging full speed ahead, commissioning multiple series from the U.K., some more high-profile than others. The biggest, One Day, which was already adapted into a movie, landed high-profile castings, as did Eric and Supacell. However, Kaos has gone AWOL, and The F---It Bucket fell off the radar after casting Stephen Fry and Tom Jones newcomer Sophie Wilde. Thankfully, the latter has suddenly turned back up with a new, much less dash-heavy name, Everything Now, and a release date in October 2023.

The now more respectably named series hails from The Crown's Left Bank Pictures, which also recently released Who Is Erin Carter, renamed from the original title Palomino, so perhaps this is less about deciding against using swear words in titles and just about uncertainty in naming conventions. Either way, the series is focused on dramatizing mental health issues in a high school dramady-style series, not unlike the recently concluded Sex Education. Except in this case, it's food issues and eating disorders that plague young people trying to look like the impossible examples on magazine covers and Instagram photos.

Check out the trailer, which we should warn you, may be a bit triggering for those who suffer from food issues.
