Students fill a retro-themed classroom set, with a bold “1996” graphic on display and the Netflix logo in the corner, recreating the nostalgic world of Everything Sucks! for fans of 90s comedy series.

Netflix already has a nostalgic 80s-inspired hit with “Stranger Things,” and now they’re delving into the 90s with the new comedy series “Everything Sucks!”.

Set in Boring, Oregon in 1996, the 10 half-hour episodes revolve around Boring High School’s A/V and Drama Clubs, two groups of nerdy outsiders who join forces to survive the everyday terrors of high school. Created by Ben York Jones and Michael Mohan, the show stars Peyton Kennedy and Jahi Winston as students Kate Messner and Luke O’Neil, with Patch Darragh and Claudine Nako as their respective parents.

Netflix revealed the premiere date with this fun “Pop-Up Video”-inspired promo. The former VH1 series played music videos filled with pop-up info nuggets of trivia and jokes, and the “Everything Sucks!” promo uses the same technique to take us on a trip back to the 90s.

In addition, Netflix released some images from the new series:

Two visitors at Universal Studios, both sporting sunglasses, pose beside a chain-link fence—one shows off her jacket decorated with collectible pins from various attractions, while the other enjoys a lollipop, giving off the quirky nostalgia of a 90s Nickelodeon sitcom marathon.

Three kids burst into laughter and dance atop a couch in a living room reminiscent of Universal Studios’ immersive 90s sitcom set, surrounded by wood ceilings and warm lighting that evoke the exciting, nostalgic atmosphere of an entertainment attraction celebrating classic TV comedies.

Six kids ride a classic yellow school bus, exchanging serious glances and conversation, channeling the retro 90s atmosphere of Everything Sucks!, the Netflix comedy series that brings coming-of-age nostalgia to fans of themed entertainment experiences.

Two teens pose with their bike beside an orange van and the “Welcome to Boring, Oregon” sign, recreating the iconic small-town vibe of Everything Sucks! from Netflix, as if stepping into a live attraction inspired by the show’s 90s nostalgia.

“Everything Sucks!” arrives on Netflix on February 16.
