Tonight marks the end of the first season of You, Me and the Apocalypse on NBC. Is the Thursday night series coming back? Would you watch season two?
A dramatic comedy, You, Me and the Apocalypse revolves around the last days of mankind. It’s discovered that a comet is on a collision course with earth in 34 days and an unexpected chain of events is set in motion. The cast includes Mathew Baynton, Joel Fry, Pauline Quirke, Jenna Fischer, Kyle Soller, Rob Lowe, Gaia Scodellaro, Paterson Joseph, Megan Mullally, Diana Rigg, and Fabian McCallum.
A UK co-production, this series first aired on Sky 1 in late 2015. While it seemed like the series was envisioned as a “one season show”, the door was left open for a second season.
When the series didn’t perform very well for NBC here in the States, that seems to have closed the door on the prospects for a second season and You, Me and the Apocalypse was “cancelled“. The loose ends in the finale may never be tied up.
But, what do you think? Would you have watched a second season? Are you satisfied with the way the show ended?
My husband & I would definitely watch a second season. We were disappointed in the finale’s loose ends. We hope someone will pick the show up & make another season.
Omg yes I went to Amazon to see if I could buy it . I binged it I loved it told everyone to watch it and we get left with the son of God outside and his evil brother inside. Whoever canceled this show is cruel.
If NBC won’t bring it back somebody else should snatch this up – way too many things that need to be answered. Jamie’s fate, Ceilne’s baby, whoever is in that box and so much more…why do the networks come up with great shows then decide to walk away leaving viewers feeling cheated? BRING IT BACK
I liked the show, and I’m disappointed it won’t be back for a second season. You could have at least let us know what happens to Jamie, who was left outside!
Please please bring back it back for a season two. I watch tv all the time and never has a show made me so excited for the next episode. I was so upset by the ending there has to be a second season!
Please, please bring it back for a second season! It is one of the best shows I have ever seen and there are far too many loose ends! I have never looked forward to anything as much as I have this show each week! I have been blown away by the fantastic writing and acting and I have got to know who the hell is inside that crate! Please!
I would definitely watch a second season. It would be a sort of Genesis, and I will find out who the hell is in the wooden crate!
PLEASE DONT CANCEL!!! This is one of the b st shows on TV!!! You didn’t advertise enough!!! It’s freaking awesome!!
If NBC is smart they will pick this show up and not make the same mistake they did with Star Trek. It’s been a long time since there has been a show with soooo many twist and turns that take you on a ride of a life time.
Loved this show I hope it comes back…definitely would watch a second season
I tried to watch this show, but found it agonizingly difficult. I found it neither funny, dramatic or touching.
When you kill off one of the best actors and then the second best, no wonder you lose an audience! Stupid ending!
YES I would definitely watch a second season, although I think it’s unlikely we’ll get one. This was a compelling theme with some brilliantly drawn characters. It’s a shame they didn’t make this a “limited event,” they could have completed the whole story in, say, 13 episodes. It’s a mistake for producers to assume their show will be renewed, then they leave the audience so unsatisfied. I’m not sure there would be enough to carry on much past a second season, but I wish desperately they would at least wrap up the actual comet impact and give us an epilogue.
please second season!!!
I really loved this show and would love to see a second seasons. It was fun, original, funny, and the characters were quirky yet like able. My advice to improve the series, get rid of Rhonda as she was annoying and irritating, it was like fingernails on a chalkboard getting through her time on the screen if there was one reason I would have stopped watching the show it would be her. I feel the actress playing Rhonda did not carry the role well at all!!!!!!!
