Netflix is developing a new series titled “Atypical”.
From Robia Rashid and Seth Gordon, “Atypical” will star Jennifer Jason Leigh, Keir Gilchrist and Michael Rapaport.
The coming of age story follows Sam (played by Gilchrist), an 18-year-old on the autistic spectrum on his search for love and independence. His funny yet painful journey of self-discovery upends his entire family, forcing them all to grapple with change in their own lives as they all struggle with the central theme: what does it really mean to be normal? Jennifer Jason Leigh stars as his mother, Elsa, who is on her own journey of self discovery, and Michael Rapaport plays his father, Doug. Brigette Lundy-Paine will play Sam’s sister Casey and Amy Okuda portrays his therapist Julia.
The series is created and written by Robia Rashid. Seth Gordon will direct the first episode. Rashid and Gordon serve as executive producers along with Mary Rohlich, and with Jennifer Jason Leigh serving as a producer.
