Teen writer, Genera+ion cast: Not all teen dramas are the same
UPI News Service, 03/11/2021
The new HBO Max drama Genera+tion, which premieres Thursday, follows a tradition of HBO teen dramas like Euphoria and We Are What We Are.
ADVERTISEMENT All three portray diverse groups of high school teenagers, but Genera+ion cast members and its 19-year-old co-creator Zelda Barnz told Television Critics Association members it s a mistake to lump the three shows together.
Justice Smith said the teenage protagonists are the only similarities the shows have in common. Smith, 25, plays Chester, an openly gay teenager who gets in trouble at school for dressing too provocatively.
