Zoey Deutch and Dylan O’Brien star in the teaser trailer for Not Okay, Hulu’s upcoming satire film. Having previously worked together in the gangster drama The Outfit, Deutch and O’Brien reunited for a very different kind of movie. First gaining traction back in August, as fans reacted to O’Brien sporting blonde hair and fake tattoos, Not Okay was described as the story of a young woman (played by Deutch) who, in her misguided attempts to find fame and friends, ends up faking a trip to Paris. She hopes the trip will give a boost to her social media presence. However, a terrifying incident occurs in the real world and becomes part of the otherwise fake trip. By all accounts, it didn’t seem like the comedy would feature a lead character that would be easy to root for.
The new teaser trailer for Not Okay, shared by Searchlight Pictures, leans into the unlikability of its protagonist and even features a cheeky warning to that effect at the beginning of the teaser. Deutch’s character, known as Danni, is so unlikeable that it seems like she’s become both a pariah and a laughing stock in online circles. The trailer also shows more of O’Brien, as the blonde-haired Colin. You can check it out below.
