The Everything Now cast features an array of talent who have come together to tell the story of Mia, and how her friends abandoned her after she was sent to a rehabilitation center.

This series was created by 22-year-old Ripley Parker, and closely examines a group of friends who are struggling with young adulthood, and a move into sixth form, and there are plenty of challenges along the way.

The synopsis of Everything Now is "Mia is a 16-year-old Londoner entering sixth form at the fictional Westmere School after returning home from a stay at a rehabilitation center for disordered eating. Although she’s only been gone for a matter of months, Mia realizes that her closest friends have moved on without her. 

"To combat the feeling of lost time, Mia creates an ever-evolving bucket list. She jumps headfirst into the intoxicating world of dating, partying, and growing up alongside her three best mates, one popular frenemy, and a major new crush. Throughout Everything Now season 1, Mia discovers that — even with the most carefully constructed bucket list — there’s only so much we can do to plan the future."

Mia is a 16-year-old Londoner who has recently returned home from a stay at a rehabilitation center for disordered eating. However, she realizes that her closest friends have moved on without her, and has to come to terms with this.

Sophie Wilde recently starred in the breakout A24 horror Talk to Me, where she played the lead role, also named Mia. Outside of this, she has been in You Don't Know Me and The Portable Door.

Dr. Nell is presumably an important figure in Mia's life, although we don't know much about his character prior to the series' release. It is likely he has helped her with her rehabilitation in some way.

He's played by Stephen Fry who is known for numerous roles such as The Hobbit and Sherlock Holmes film franchises, as well as recently appearing in Prime Video's Red, White & Royal Blue

Becca is a student and part of Mia's former friend group who abandoned her after she was sent to the rehabilitation center. She is what Netflix has described as one of the "chaotic friend group", so it will be interesting to see the dynamic!

Lauryn Ajufo is known for her role as Andrea in the Boiling Point movie and for starring in Netflix's Luther: The Fallen Sun.

Will is another member of the friend group, and is somehow involved in Mia's life, as well as choosing not to check up on her. While we don't have a lot of information about the friends, we will soon learn how things develop.
