· Quote from Tracey Pakosta, Netflix Vice President of Comedy Series, US: "We're thrilled to partner with Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker and Bill Lawrence to bring Justin's hilariously relatable autobiography, I Suck at Girls, to the screen. They have a rare ability to turn deeply personal, unconventional ideas into culture-defining series that are sharp, funny, and deeply human. This show captures universal truths about life and relationships with authentic heart and humor, we believe it's a story audiences will genuinely love and connect with."

· Quote from Justin Halpern, Showrunner/Writer/Executive Producer: "I'm incredibly excited to make a show that can hopefully capture the funny, emotional and oftentimes humiliating experience of growing up. As opposed to just the emotional and humiliating experience of my life as an adult."

· Studio: Warner Bros. Television, where Halpern and Schumacker's Delicious Non-Sequitur Productions and Lawrence's Doozer Productions are under overall deals.

· Netflix continues to deliver a strong comedy slate this year and beyond, including the second seasons of Running Point and The Four Seasons; Dan Levy's new family crime comedy series Big Mistakes; the Season 3 returns of Nobody Wants This and Tires; A Hundred Percent, soon going into production; new standup specials from Taylor Tomlinson, Derrick Stroup, and more; and the return of Netflix is a Joke Fest this May.
