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.)
Wasn’t Sky the same company that cancelled Hit and Miss. Brilliant shows axed for questionable reasons. I guess the biggest viewing group is happy with crap.
Just binge watched. Brilliant, and yes a tough ending to follow, but you left so many questions, is Ariel the antichrist? Does he win? Or does Jamie have some power that keeps him alive and get him in the bunker. Does the woman in the box have a role? Why keep her such a mystery? Hay at least give us a 2 hour mini that gives some answers!
The only good show, the ONLY show I watched on NBC. Gone. Please pick this up Netflix or Amazon.
Why is it that every good show you produce gets cancelled? Bring back “You Me And The Apocalypse”
Love this show! You left too much hanging to end it there! Please reconsider?
Reached a natural conclusion…with one mystery character in the bunker, our main protagonist close to death, and our main antagonist pretending to be someone else forever? How is that a conclusion? I feel cheated.
Obviously too obtuse for the masses. Would love to see it continue.
I cant believe that you all cancel this show……there aren’t many shows that have humor…drama …and suspense as this show does… bring it back and give us some closures.
Who is the lady in side of the box
Whats the deal with the monkey
Who really kill the prieai
Is there a God…
Come on people….. bring it back and close the loop
You left Jamie outside!!!!!!!
Wahhhhh!!!!! Bring it back! I just binged this show and I love it so much! Twists and turns at every second! Bring it back!
It has been a long, long time since we have enjoyed a show like this. We have just finished episode 10 only to find out that there is no more. Shame on Sky and NBC for not adding season 2. Extremely disappointed and probably will not venture watching another production from either again…. you never know, they may cancel it on you. This show was so refreshing different from the same old type of shows.
Okay, who was the woman in the box…! Sheesh! At least give. Us some closure here! Too good to let it go guys…
I really enjoyed the show, but I can’t imagine a second season confined to a bunker with so few characters.
There’s still the bunker full of women in America too. And so many other things left unanswered.
I really liked the off beat show & looked forward to every Thursday night! So sad that it’s cancelled…:(
Why cancel such a brilliant and unique series? All our family loved it and we were really looking forward to a second series. Please change your mind. It was brilliant fun.
