Netflix orders “Sid & Zoey,” an eight-episode supernatural YA mystery romance series, from creator Jon Kasdan and co-showrunner John Shiban. The series is set up as part of Netflix’s expanding slate for young adult content, according to outlet reports.
All three outlets describe the project as originating from Kasdan and Shiban, who also serve as executive producers and co-showrunners. Blumhouse Atomic Monster and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot are involved as production partners and executive producers. Deadline and Variety both characterize the development as competitive, with Netflix securing the series after a high-stakes deal.
Beyond the shared core details, coverage focuses on different framing: Deadline emphasizes the competitive development deal and Netflix’s broader YA hub announcement, while Variety foregrounds the show’s gothic romance elements and production teams. The Hollywood Reporter highlights the creative leadership and the involvement of Bad Robot and Blumhouse Atomic Monster.
Across reports, the consistent takeaway is that Netflix has greenlit the series with an eight-episode order and the primary creative and production teams are fixed for the upcoming development.
