'I Am Not OK With This' Teaser: Sophia Lillis Struggles With Budding Superpowers In YA Teen Series For Netflix

From the producers of “Stranger Things” and Director/EP of “The End of the F***ing World,” comes “I Am Not OK With This,” another YA, irreverent teen show on Netflix that could capture the zeitgeist. We’re mostly intrigued because of up-and-coming star Sophia Lillis, who’s made a name for herself with terrific performances in the “It” franchise, playing the younger version of Amy Adams in the critically-acclaimed HBO show “Sharp Objects,” and recently appearing in “Gretel & Hansel.” She’s not a star or much of a name yet, but clearly Hollywood is all about her and her potential.
