The comedy series from James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti is making a big move. Everyone Is Doing Great has found a new home at Netflix, and both seasons will be available for streaming very soon. This news comes as a treat for fans of the duo who gained fame from the popular show One Tree Hill.
The series first came out on Hulu back in 2021. Now, after several years, Netflix has picked up the exclusive global rights through a licensing deal with Sony Pictures Television. This deal brings the show to a much larger audience around the world.
The biggest news for fans is that Season 2 will make its worldwide premiere on Netflix. The first season never had a proper global release before. This marks the first time viewers everywhere can watch both seasons in one place.
Release Date and Streaming Details for Everyone Is Doing Great on Netflix
May 11 is the date to mark on your calendar. Both Seasons 1 and 2 of Everyone Is Doing Great will arrive on Netflix on this day. The streaming service will be the exclusive home for both seasons worldwide.
The deal between Netflix and Sony Pictures Television is part of a larger partnership. Earlier this year, both companies signed a major Pay-1 licensing deal worth over $7 billion. This agreement gives Netflix the rights to many Sony movies and TV shows.
For viewers in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, India, and other countries, the show will be available on the same day. There is no staggered release plan. Everyone gets to watch on May 11 no matter where they live.
The first season has eight episodes. Each episode runs for about 30 to 38 minutes. Season 2 will also have multiple episodes, though the exact count has not been shared by the makers.
What Is Everyone Is Doing Great About
The show follows two former actors who starred in a hit vampire drama called Eternal. Seth (played by Stephen Colletti) and Jeremy (played by James Lafferty) enjoyed success during their show’s run. But five years after the show ended, they find themselves trying to figure out life.
Seth wants to keep acting and find his next big role. He takes his craft very seriously and keeps pushing forward. Jeremy takes a different path. He struggles with his divorce from Andrea (played by Alexandra Park) and uses weed and alcohol to get through his days.
The show also features Cariba Heine as Izzy. The four characters get pulled back together as they deal with the strange and uncertain parts of life. The series mixes funny moments with painful truths about growing up and moving on.
The show won top prizes at SeriesFest and the Mammoth Film Festival. Critics praised the honest look at friendship between two men. The relationship between Seth and Jeremy feels real and emotional. They do not hide their feelings from each other, which makes the show stand out.
Season 2 Guest Stars and Production Team
The second season brings in several known faces as guest stars. Jamie Chung, Bryan Greenberg, Phoenix Washington, Jessica McNamee, Robbie Jones, Merritt Patterson, Aaron Staton, Nichelle Hines, and Rhys Wakefield will appear in Season 2.
James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti created the series and serve as executive producers. They also wrote and directed many episodes themselves. The show has a true indie feel because the two actors built it from the ground up.
Other executive producers for Season 2 include Ian Nelms, Eshom Nelms, Michelle Lang, Johnny Derango, Alexandra Park, Ngoc Nguyen, Stuart Lafferty, Rocque Trem, and Garrett Greer.
Why the Move to Netflix Matters for the Show
The shift from Hulu to Netflix opens up the show to many new viewers. When Season 1 first came out on Hulu in 2021, only US audiences could watch it easily. International fans did not have a simple way to see the series.
Paul Littmann, EVP of Global Distribution at Sony Pictures Television, talked about the show’s quality. He said the series captures what makes indie television so good. He described it as raw, authentic and funny.
Netflix becomes the perfect place for this show to find its audience. The streaming service has over 260 million subscribers worldwide. This reach gives Everyone Is Doing Great a real chance to connect with people who missed it the first time.
The show explores what happens to actors after their big show ends. Many people can relate to feeling stuck or unsure about the next step in life. Seth and Jeremy’s struggles feel real because they are not just characters. Lafferty and Colletti drew from their own experiences as actors who found fame on a hit teen drama.
