In a competitive situation, Netflix has greenlit the YA romance series “Sid & Zoey.”
The show hails from creator Jon Kasdan and writer John Shiban. Both also serve as executive producers and co-showrunners. Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Bad Robot also executive produce. Netflix has given the show an eight-episode order.
The logline for the show states:
“Sid, a seductive, sophisticated, and amoral teenager from New York, is sent to live with a police chief and his family in the idyllic Mississippi town where his mother grew up. The family includes the chief’s sharp-witted, punk-rock daughter, Zoey. Resisting their mutual attraction, Sid and Zoey find themselves drawn into a dark, hidden world beneath the town’s picture-postcard facade — and a supernatural mystery that may well get them killed if they don’t kill each other first.”
Along with Kasdan and Shiban, J.J. Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich executive produce for Bad Robot alongside James Wan and Rob Hackett for Blumhouse Atomic Monster.
