Exclusive: Dylan O'Brien talks Not Okay & working with Zoey Deutch again
Currently playing on Hulu is the comedy drama Not Okay, directed by Quinn Shepard and starring Zoey Deutch, Dylan O'Brien, Mia Isaac, Embeth Davidtz, Nadia Alexander, Tia Dionne Hodge, Negin Farsad, Karan Soni, and Dash Perry.
Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch), an aimless aspiring writer with no friends, no romantic prospects and — worst of all — no followers, fakes an Instagram-friendly trip to Paris in the hopes of boosting her social media clout. When a terrifying incident strikes the City of Lights, Danni unwittingly falls into a lie bigger than she ever imagined. She "returns" a hero, even striking up an unlikely friendship with Rowan (Mia Isaac), a real trauma survivor dedicated to societal change, and scooping up the man of her dreams Colin (Dylan O'Brien). As an influencer and advocate, Danni finally has the life and audience she always wanted. But it’s only a matter of time before the facade cracks, and she learns the hard way that the Internet loves a takedown.
For Dylan O'Brien, this is his second pairing with Zoey Deutch in 2022. Earlier this year, the two had starred in The Outfit. Best known for his role as Stiles Stilinski on the MTV supernatural drama Teen Wolf, O’Brien’s film credits have included The Maze Runner franchise films, Deepwater Horizons with Mark Wahlberg, American Assassin with Michael Keaton, and the voice of Bumblebee in the title film.
