Zadie Smith Narrates A24's Gen-Z Sex Comedy 'It Gets Worse,' Created by Leo Reich

Leo Reich created 'It Gets Worse,' an A24-produced comedy series that Zadie Smith narrates. The show is described as endlessly self-aware and carries a 'Girls'-like sensibility for generational angst, framing it as a Gen-Z sex comedy. The Financial Times review highlights the series' wit and its preoccupation with the anxieties of a younger generation. The production pairs Reich's authorship with A24's backing and Smith's narration, a combination that shapes the show's tone. The review positions the series within a lineage of generational-coming-of-age storytelling, citing 'Girls' as a reference point for its treatment of millennial and Gen-Z unease.
