Freeform Orders ‘Everything is Gonna Be Okay’ Pilot

Freeform has placed a pilot order for “Everything’s Gonna Be Okay,” a half-hour dramedy from “Please Like Me” creator, writer and comedian Josh Thomas. The pilot focuses on Nicholas, a typical 25-year-old still living at home with his single dad and two teenage half-sisters, who is not particularly helpful in raising his siblings, one of which has autism. However, when their dad becomes terminally ill, the girls have to cope with not only a devastating loss but also the realization that Nicholas is the one who will have to hold it all together.

Thomas created the concept, wrote and stars in the pilot with David Martin, Jon Thoday, and Richard Allen-Turner serving as executive producers for Avalon Television. Stephanie Swedlove and Kevin Whyte also serve as executive producers. Produced by Avalon Television and Freeform Studios, it will be distributed internationally by Avalon Distribution.
