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.)
Bummer. Really was hooked on this show – my wife and I could not wait for each episode. Really an original show – yes a little quirky but really interesting characters and concept.
I’m so disappointed I love this show!
It’s ok to end it. Just make a new show called You, Me and the Post Apocalypse.
I’m soooooo hooked on this show for a variety of reasons! #1, IT WAS GREAT and innovative! Please make a season 2!
Such an innovative show! Compelling and worth your time to watch! Please bring a season 2!
Are you serious? You didn’t end the show, you just stopped it.
Apparently too original for the masses. Would love to see it continue.
Please. Please. Please! I want a second season! So many things are left unanswered. I want to know the end ( no pun intended)
I definitely would like to see a Season 2 of this innovative series. I care about these characters and want to know what happens to them!!
This is devastating news to me. This was the most refreshing tv show! AND you cannot leave Jaimie outside to die. That’s the ending you left us with…. REALLY?? Please bring it back on some network or medium. Please?
No it should not have been cancelled! My husband and I agree it was the best show on TV right now!
Please I’m begging you make a season two do the right thing and just make it. You can’t leave all the viewers hanging no matter what you have to make your viewers happy. Knowing that there isn’t going to be a season 2 of “you,me, and the apocalypse” is really devastating.
Yes I would like season 2
You are irresponsible storytellers! We watched this show and fell in love with it, then shortchanged us!
you can’t stop with Jamie lying naked outside the bunker!!!!!
