Tell Me Everything is an upcoming British teen drama television series. It will premiere on 8 December 2022 as part of the inaugural slate of dramas on the new ITVX streaming service before airing on ITV2 at a later date.

The series was announced on 5 August 2021 when filming had commenced in Welwyn Garden City. The series is ITV2's first original drama in over ten years and has been compared to E4 teen drama Skins (2007–2013). Tell Me Everything will center around 16-year-old Jonny (Eden H Davies) who struggles with his mental health after a tragic event. Alongside Davies, the series will also star Spike Fearn, Lauryn Ajufo, Callina Liang, Tessa Lucille and Carla Woodcock; the production team stated that during the casting process, they focused on casting young and rising actors.

Premise

Tell Me Everything centres on 16-year-old Jonny (Eden H Davies) who is hiding undiagnosed depression and anxiety from best friends Louis (Spike Fearn) and Neve (Lauryn Ajufo). Jonny then meets Mei (Callina Liang) and is drawn into dark places with Regan (Tessa Lucille) and Zia (Carla Woodcock).[1] ITV said Tell Me Everything explores "the stresses of mental health for today’s teens created by the omnipresence of technology and social media, whilst they are still searching for their own identity, exploring sexuality, and experimenting with relationships, drink, drugs and sex".[1]

Development

Plans for Tell Me Everything were finalised in May 2021 and the press release for the series was launched on 5 August 2021.[1] At the time of release, ITV confirmed that filming was in place in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, where the events within the series will also be set; the town is series creator Mark O'Sullivan's hometown.[2] The executive producers for the series are Robert Wulff-Cochrane and Camilla Campbell, who commissioned the E4 teen drama Skins. The series is written by creator O'Sullivan, Yemi Oyefuwa, Kat Sadler and Cameron Loxdale, and is directed by Richard Senior and Marley Morrison.[3]

When the series was announced, the stars were billed to be Eden H Davis, Spike Fearn, Lauryn Ajufo, Callina Liang, Tessa Lucille and Carla Woodcock. However, it was stated that the casting was preliminary and that it may be altered during the production process. Executive producers Wulff-Cochrane and Campbell expressed their excitement at the talent of the cast and said that a focal point was put on casting new and rising actors during the casting process.[3] It was also confirmed that the series would be produced by Noho Film and Television and ITV Studios, and that it would be co-funded by Young Audiences Content Fund, a UK government funded grant scheme focused on creating programmes for British adolescents.[4]
