The first look at Netflix’s YA dystopian series Uglies is a helluva flashback

Netflix’s new trailer for the Uglies series is a real flashback to the 10-years-past heyday of YA movie adaptations like Divergent, Maze Runner, The Fifth Wave, The Giver, The Darkest Minds, and so forth.

The YA dystopia craze is back, and it’s shinier and slicker than ever Remember about 15 years ago, when Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games books became the hottest thing in teen literature?

The cast includes Keith Powers, Chase Stokes, Brianne Tju, Jan Luis Castellanos, and Charmin Lee, alongside King and Cox.
