Netflix just unveiled the first trailer for I Am Not Okay With This, a coming-of-age comedy series from the producers behind Stranger Things. Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Charles Forsman, the series also promises a mini It reunion of sorts with its cast.

It’s like if John Hughes made a superhero movie.

I Am Not Okay With This premieres February 26 https://t.co/39nM87rJic

Sophia Lillis and Wyatt Oleff, who starred as Beverly Marsh and Stanley Uris respectively in 2017's It and the 2019 sequel, will lead the series. Sofia Bryant and Kathleen Rose Perkins will also star, and Jonathan Entwistle of The End of the F***ing World fame will serve as the director. As the trailer teases, Sophia Lillis' character Syndey believes she's just a regular girl until she starts to discover she has mysterious superpowers.

Not only does she have to deal with the usual struggles of a teenager, such as high school and relationships, but she's also struggling to control her powers. "It's probably just puberty," she remarks. The series looks to balance the typical coming-of-age story with a healthy dose of comedy and mystery, which would make sense considering some of the people behind Stranger Things are involved. 

Watch the trailer for I Am Not Okay With This above, and look for it on Netflix when it debuts on Feb. 26.
