The Edge of Seventeen is set to become a YouTube series

Deadline

YouTube Premium has ordered a pilot based on the 2016 critically acclaimed teen movie starring Hailee Steinfeld that subverted standard teen tropes. Kelly Fremon Craig, who wrote and directed the film, will serve as executive producer while Annabel Oakes will write and direct the pilot. According to Deadline, "this will not be a straight remake or sequel ... It will tell new stories borrowing the tone of the film and its commitment to capturing the teen age truthfully, in the vein of Fargo FX anthology series’ interpretation of the acclaimed movie."
