It’s the end of the world as we know it. Sky has cancelled the You, Me and the Apocalypse TV series after its first season. The British-American sitcom airs on NBC, stateside.
Season one ends after the meteor hits earth. The survivors, played by stars including Mathew Baynton, Pauline Quirke, Diana Rigg, and Joel Fry, are ensconced in an underground bunker. Baynton was ready to tell the post-apocalyptic story, but Sky is letting the first and only season stand on its own.
Radio Times reports that Sky has decided against a second season of the show, for the narrative’s sake, which is rather refreshing. Here are the details:
“A story with the end of the world at its heart was always going to be hard to bring back and has reached its natural conclusion,” the broadcaster told RadioTimes.com.
“The news that a comet was on a unavoidable collision course towards earth triggered a joyous, fun, 34 day dramatic countdown to the end of the world in You, Me and the Apocalypse. Our cast of characters did things they never believed they would do and gave us a show that was loved by critics and the audience alike.
“We thank the entire creative team, cast and everyone working at Working Title Television and NBCUniversal International Studios”.
What do you think? Do you wish the You, Me and the Apocalypse TV show had been renewed for a second season, or do you think Sky did the right thing? Let us know. (I feel fine.)
season 2, please!
I would love to see season 2 please.
So disappointed that there isn’t a season 2, I mean clearly Jamie has to return to his family, no room for debate on that. This series had me laughing so hard, which is rare. Good comedy shows like this one are so hard to find.
Loved the show. Would love a second season. Very unhappy that Jamie didn’t make it
I think you me and the apocalypse was a very good show and had viewers like myself on edge waiting for the new season i can’t believe it was cancelled but i agree netflix should pic it up for a season 2 and so on
Netflix should pick up You, me and the apocalypse and make a season 2!!! There’s so much more material that can be used to continue on the series. I’m extremely disheartened and when I got to the end and found out that it was over I was appalled that this show had been canceled. please bring it back!!
There needs to be at LEAST a second season!
How tough would it be to have a second season living in the bunker and then a THIRD season where somebody opens the door to the bunker?!?
COME ON! More!
The ending left so many unresolved situations. After Jamie’s parting of the Thames, IS he the Son of God? And if so, does his being trapped outside the bunker at impact NOT mean his death, but rather that he will survive by some miracle? Ariel’s counterfeit of Jamie has proven imperfect before: how soon before he is unmasked? Will Scotty survive? What in fact does happen to the world? It is maddening– not to mention REALLY annoying– not to find out!
I wish that we could have seen season 2!! Loved this series!
I think that it was the greatest show that I had seen in years. I was completely in love with Rob Lowe and how well he portrayed his character. Wish they would come up with a second season…:(
