Did you go to high school in Oregon in the 1990s? If so, the new Netflix series, "Everything Sucks" may be right up your alley. Filming right now in Oregon City, "Everything Sucks" is scheduled to premiere on Netflix in 2018.

So what is "Everything Sucks" and why does everything suck? We don't know much, but here's what we do know.

Tim Williams, executive director of the Oregon Governor's Office of Film & Television, confirms that "Everything Sucks" is in the second week of shooting, with Oregon City as the production's home base.

There was a casting call on June 10 for extras to appear in "Everything Sucks," as we reported.

As Entertainment Weekly and other entertainment publications are reporting, Netflix has announced that "Everything Sucks" is set in 1996 Oregon. The story? That has to do with conflicts between a high school A.V. club and the drama club.

If that reminds you of "Freaks and Geeks," the classic, tragically short-lived 1999-2000 comedy about high school students in the early 1980s, you're not the only one.

"Everything Sucks" is also reportedly about high school misfits and oddballs, a description that has a distinct "Freaks and Geeks" vibe.

Comingsoon.net includes a quote from Cindy Holland, vice president, original content for Netflix: "We're looking forward to spending some time back in the '90s...Whether you were in A/V, drama, sports or band, we think everyone will find something to relate to in this coming of age story about the one thing that sucks above everything else -- high school."

The cast includes Peyton Kennedy and Jahi Winston as students, and Patch Darragh and Claudine Nako (who also appeared in "Grimm," another Oregon-filmed series) as parents.

"Everything Sucks" is created by Ben York Jones ("Like Crazy") and Michael Mohan ("Save the Date.") The series is produced by the company Midnight Radio, which is also responsible for the CBS summer series, "Zoo," as the Hollywood Reporter notes.

There will be 10 half-hour episodes of "Everything Sucks," the Hollywood Reporter adds.
