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.)
This feels like another Firefly. Don’t fail us NBC, please. Season 2!
The one and only time I tune my television to NBC each week was for You, Me and the Apocolypse. Leave it to the NBC executives to ax their only quality show.
I just can’t believe it! Another great show cancelled before its time! im going to stick to my plan of taping the entire season of any new show and not watching until I no for sure it won’t be cancelled!!!
That sucks! Just saw the end of the first season and was looking so forward to the next! I’m giving up on tv!!!!
season 2!! This is a clever show
Season 2 please
It’s horrible that it will not be a season 2
This is horrible that they will not have a season 2
What?? That’s crap. It’s a really good show! How can you just kill a show when it was just starting?
Amazon, Netflix, Hulu…..let the bidding begin!!!
Seriously!? This season stands on its own!? That’s crap. Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!
I am once again disappointed in NBC. This show is crazy awesome and I cannot believe you would end it like that. There at least needs to be a finale in which Jaimie is not left naked, outside after he just parted the Thames. There’s a lady in the box. There’s an evil monkey. A need for repeated blood transfusions. A pregnant nun. A false god appointed by the church. A dead president. A little prophet. And the wacky characters all locked in the bunker at gunpoint. There needs to be an ending. If NBC is not up to the… Read more »
I loved the show and would really love another season at least, there were so many unanswered questions left behind.
Please make season 2 of You, Me and The Appocolypse! It’s a gripping, witty yet humorous show! I want to know if Jamie makes it in the bunker and what happens to the rest of the people in the bunker. There’s that chick locked in the box, what’s really happening in the bunker, why does that old lady need her families blood, what happens to Scotty, and Celine is having her baby, so much more story line to write! I love this show don’t take it away! Bring it back in Sept!
Please bring it back…..season 2 please
