  "account": "Netflix has acquired the young adult series \"Sid & Zoey\" for series production. The supernatural romance drama, developed by Jon Kasdan, blends mystery with romance and is based on his previous work. Kasdan will co-showrun, script, and executive produce the show alongside John Shiban, who is also a co-showrunner and writer for the project. The drama is produced by Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Bad Robot, with J.J. Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich serving as executive producers for Bad Robot. Jason Blum, James Wan, and Rob Hackett will also serve as executive producers for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. The eight-episode drama follows Sid, a seductive and sophisticated teenager from New York, who is sent to live with a police chief and his family in a Mississippi town. Zoey, the sharp-witted and punk-rock daughter of the chief, becomes Sid's romantic interest as they both uncover the dark secrets that lie beneath the town's seemingly perfect exterior.",
