paulvdb January 11, 2019 Share January 11, 2019 Freeform Picks Up Josh Thomas Comedy ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Okay’ To Series Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, Freeform’s pilot from Australian writer-actor-comedian Josh Thomas, has been picked up to series by the network with a 10-episode order. The half-hour comedy stars Thomas as Nicholas, a neurotic 25-year-old still living at home with his single dad and two teenage half-sisters, one of which has autism. He is not particularly helpful in raising his siblings, but 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. Co-starring alongside Thomas are Kayla Cromer, Maeve Press, and Adam Faison. Link to comment

HappyBerry April 9, 2021 Share April 9, 2021 Has anyone else read the Josh Thomas story in the New Yorker about his autism diagnosis. There is something I really enjoy about the "hmmmm, I sure am interested in making stories about characters with XYZ....hey, wait a second....." narrative. 1 Link to comment

I skimmed it, but what I read was cool, and yeaaah Nicholas does read as autistic... or narcissistic. Link to comment

I mean even if he was the one who decided to end the show I am still disappointed - I really hope to see more Kayla Cromer and Maeve Press on my TV soon Edited August 18, 2021 by bros402 Link to comment
MsNewsradio August 18, 2021 Share August 18, 2021 I'm so sad to see this, not only because the show was so good, and I wanted to see more from these characters, but also because it means one less show with disability representation on television. It was such a breath of fresh air to see autistic characters played by autistic actors. 2 Link to comment
luna1122 August 18, 2021 Share August 18, 2021 I'm so sad about this. It actually made me cry last night when I read Josh's IG. It was such a special little show. Link to comment
Evie August 18, 2021 Share August 18, 2021 I expected this, but I'm still sad. I loved this show. There's nothing else like it on television. Link to comment
KaveDweller August 18, 2021 Share August 18, 2021 That sucks, it was such an enjoyable show. Link to comment
bros402 August 19, 2021 Share August 19, 2021 I'm hoping this is more "Josh Thomas didn't want to act anymore/couldn't think of ideas for a season 3" instead of a "Freeform decided to sacrifice a show to the show gods" because this show was great, it was only 20 episodes, but the second season was so good - I think it was better than season 1 (Although season 1 finale had an amazing portrayal of what sensory overload can feel like).
