Netflix has canceled the British series, according to an interview with Dylan Brady on Film Update. The actor was involved in writing the series and wrote the sixth episode.
The series Everything Now, starring Sophie Wilde, Lauryn Ajufo, Harry Cadby, Noah Thomas, Stephen Fry, Niamh McCormack, Sam Reuben, Vivienne Acheampong and Alex Hassell, started in October 2023.
Netflix revealed the following about the series' plot:
“When sixteen-year-old Mia returns home after a lengthy recovery from an eating disorder, she is sent back to the chaotic world of sixth grade to find that her friends have moved on with teenage life without her. Along with an ever-growing bucket list , three best friends and a great new love, Mia plunges headlong into a world of dating, parties and first kisses, where she quickly discovers that not everything in life can be planned.
Brady said the following about the series' cancellation:
“I had written a script for season two… We had some great ideas but we are at the mercy of the algorithm, I’m afraid. It’s really difficult because historically, TV has worked in one way, which is a slow, consistent growth over several seasons as opposed to this kind of mentality we see now, where it’s like, ‘If it doesn’t get 16 million views in the first 28 days, it’s not worth anyone’s while.’
It’s really disheartening to see because I think there’s also a lot of people who refuse to invest in a new show with the knowledge that it might just end up getting canceled. I hope that landscape will change and I hope that we can stop treating art and television as a commodity that’s at the mercy of an algorithm because an algorithm isn’t people, and things often just do take a bit of time. When they’re given the space to grow, they can turn into really wonderful things.”
