Sophie Wilde stars as 16 year old Mia, who has the weight of the world on her shoulders.
Following hot on the heels of Sex Education season 4, new Netflix teen series has landed, following 16-year-old Mia Polanco, who is in recovery from an eating disorder and has just been released from hospital.
Mia is thrust straight back into sixth form, but is gutted to realise that all of her friends are ahead of her and feels like she’s been left behind.
Desperate to tick off important teenage milestones, from partying to having sex, Mia assembles a “f**k it bucket list” in an effort to reclaim the time she’s lost.
Everything Now might explore delicate subject matter, but fortunately an epic cast has been assembled to do so, with Sophie Wilde leading the way alongside a cast of exciting new talent and screen veterans.
