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.)
What a disappointment. This show got better and better. I had a feeling it would not make it. Only crazy reality shows get the thumbs up these days. There is just no point in getting invested in a show until the 3rd or 4th season. What a mistake NBC.
Every friggin’ time I decide to give a show a chance, they cancel it on me. Daybreak, Awake, Revolution, how many more? Pisses me off. From now on, to Hell with NBC and ABC. I’m sticking with TV Land and MeTV from now on. Those shows survived past season two. Un-freakin’-believable! This show gets cancelled yet “The Last Man on Earth” keeps going!?!?!? I’m annoyed. Network executives need to be raped, castrated, shot, drawn and quartered, all while watching nude images of Killary Clinton! DAMN!!!
Good shows get canceled and inane ones go on forever. The public craves pablum.
I love this show” it’s intelligent, funny, entertaining…I am so disappointed.
Good news for all the other shows at NBC that haven’t been renewed yet.
Ridiculous that this is being cancelled!!!!renew this for at least another season!!!So many good shows get canceled after 1 or 2 seasons while horrible shows go on forever:(
Just found out You, Me and the Apocalypse was cancelled. I liked everything about it, Characters, story-line, cast. Hopefully it will get picked up by another network.
I’m distraught. I guess that’s just how life is, though. All for nothing in the end.
This was a great show!! Always kept it interesting in what was going to happen next!! Bring it back for a season 2.
This is so stupid (to announce with several shows left to the season). It’s like why even waste your time watching the remaining shows when in the end you know you will be left dangling. Each week I’ve been more and more drawn into the plot. But I guess I represent a small minority and thus the show gets axed.
RENEW THIS SHOW!!!!
I think the show was set up to be just one season because of the story line. I enjoy the show.
Great show. Everyone did well sad to see it go.
Sooooo disappointed!!! Really?!?!? I LOVED everything about this show!!!!
I’m so glad I don’t watch TV shows when they first come out I’d wait for them to last for about 3 or 4 years then I watch it
