'Sid & Zoey': Netflix Orders Teen Gothic Romance Series
The eight-episode series follows a teen romance that turns into a supernatural mystery as Netflix expands its YA slate with several hundred titles.
- On Friday, Netflix ordered an eight-episode supernatural mystery series titled 'Sid & Zoey' from creator Jon Kasdan and writer John Shiban. The show follows a teenager from New York sent to live in a Mississippi town.
- Netflix has intensified its focus on the young adult market, where content generated more than 10.5 billion global views since 2023. The genre remains pivotal, with 23 titles appearing on the streamer's global top 10 list this year.
- Production involves J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot and Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Kasdan and Shiban will serve as showrunners, drawing on prior work for 'Ozark' and 'Breaking Bad'.
- Sid, an 'amoral' teen from New York, and the police chief's 'sharp-witted, punk-rock' daughter, Zoey, lead the series. The pair discovers a dark, hidden world beneath the town's facade while resisting their mutual attraction.
- This order follows Netflix's recent announcement of other young adult projects including 'The Sticks', 'The Body', 'Poser', 'Crew Girl', and 'Minimum Wage'. The expansion reflects the genre's sustained popularity on the platform.
