Dr. Phil should be very afraid of Misha Osherovich’s new series
Misha Osherovich has announced their latest project: a dark comedy series focusing on the “troubled teen” industry.Deadline reports that Osherovich, 25, best known for their role in the horror-comedy Freaky, co-created and co-wrote the new show with Skylar Landsee.
Freemantle Media, the production house behind The Mosquito Coast will produce.Titled Troubled, the series will examine the multimillion-dollar industry aimed at behavior modification through “tough love” in young adults.
Oscherovich based the premise on their own experiences with a tough-love behavior modification program.“Troubled is based on my story and the stories of the teens I met during the years I spent inside the system,” Osherovich said in a statement. “The secretive world of the troubled-teen industry shames its survivors into silence.
Now, with this series, I am breaking mine. I am thrilled to collaborate with Fremantle to make these stories heard.”The so-called Troubled Teen Industry had its inception in the 1960s as a means of curbing bad behavior in young adults through a mix of religious and military-style discipline.
