Anna Konkle and Taegen Burns are heading back to high school with the new comedy I Suck at Girls. The series takes inspiration from the autobiography of the same name by its Emmy-nominated showrunner, Justin Halpern (Abbott Elementary, Harley Quinn, Surviving Jack). The New York Times bestselling author shares showrunner, writer, and executive producer duties with Patrick Schumacker (Abbott Elementary, Harley Quinn, Surviving Jack) for Delicious Non-Sequitur Productions.
“I’m incredibly excited to make a show that can hopefully capture the funny, emotional, and oftentimes humiliating experience of growing up, as opposed to just the emotional and humiliating experience of my life as an adult,” Halpern says.

Tracey Pakosta, Netflix’s US vice president of comedy series, is excited to collaborate with the creative team of “hilariously relatable” I Suck at Girls. “They have a rare ability to turn deeply personal, unconventional ideas into culture-defining series that are sharp, funny, and deeply human,” Pakosta says. “This show captures universal truths about life and relationships with authentic heart and humor. We believe it’s a story audiences will genuinely love and connect with.”
