Where to Stream: I Am Not Okay With This

Powered by Reelgood

I Am Not Okay With This has a lot in common with another offbeat Netflix hit: The End of the F***ing World.

Both series are based on graphic novels written by Charles Forsman, both series were created and directed by Jonathan Entwistle, and both feature irreverent teen leads dealing with heavy stuff. However, could there an I Am Not Okay With This and The End of the F***ing World crossover event? After all, there most definitely is an Easter Egg for The End of the F***ing World hidden in I Am Not Okay With This.

Yup, Sydney Novak (Sophia Lillis) exists in the same warped world as The End of the F***ing World’s James (Alex Lawther) and Alyssa (Jessica Barden). The question is…does that mean the two Chuck Forsman worlds are destined to collide?

What is The End of the F***ing World Easter Egg in Netflix’s I Am Not Okay With This?

Because I Am Not Okay With This comes from the same creative team behind The End of the F***ing World, director and executive producer Jonathan Entwistle decided to set the new Netflix series during the same timeline as The End of the F***ing World. That is, James and Alyssa are on the lam in the UK at the same time that Sydney is coming into her powers in the USA.

Eagle-eyed viewers might catch James and Alyssa’s photos on a newspaper in I Am Not Okay With This?. It’s a blink and you’ll miss it moment, but Decider can confirm it is there. (We saw it on the Novak kitchen table during our set visit last summer, but were sworn to secrecy at the time.)

But does this mean that Sydney could one day collide with Alyssa? Will there be an I Am Not Okay With This and The End of the F***ing World crossover event?

How is Netflix’s I Am Not Okay With This Connected to The End of the F***ing World?

Decider spoke to I Am Not Okay With This creator and director Jonathan Entwistle earlier in the month and when we asked if there were plans for the two shows to ever crossover, here’s what he said.

“It was not a plan,” Entwistle said. “It was simply an Easter egg, linking us all together as best as we all possibly could.”

“Yeah, it’d be interesting [to have a crossover], but I don’t know how we’d do it,” Entwistle said to Decider.

So there you have it. I Am Not Okay With This and The End of the F***ing World exist in the same universe, but their characters exist in parallel narratives. Like ships passing in the night, never shall they meet.

I Am Not Okay With This Season 1 is now streaming on Netflix.
