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.)

Agree. It’s one of the reasons network TV is declining. The networks consistently anger and alienate their audience by cancelling some of the best shows. There is very little of interest on NBC. They should have held onto this and if necessary ran it on their cable affiliate USA or Bravo or even Syfy.
I LOVED this show, and am very said it has been cancelled.
Please renew this series, I loved it! Would love to see continued story lines and like how the twists kept me on the edge of my seat. This show made me laugh, cry and gasp with each episode.
Please renew love this show
Great show! The finale was painful… at least one more season. Some one talk Hulu or Netflix into picking up
What? How can they leave us hanging, there is no closure! For shame!! Very disappointed.
Didn’t they make it seem like Ariel got in the bunker?and then made it look like his dad hung himself but was murdered? No answers? And they cancel it? Shame … two ****** broke girls gets renewed and they cancelled this? FAIL
There’s too many unanswered questions to let it end like that. They should leave it up to the fans to decide the fate of the show. At least another season or maybe a movie to wrap it up is in order. Too bad though, this was one of only a few shows on TV that I actually like.
I vote we boycot Sky how dare they introduce such a poinient topic and a bloody well acted show with only half the story told then canceled?? I hope this is just a sick publicity stunt. How would you like to pay for a meal out and only get the starters. It’s a brilliant story are you too scared to depict the future for our new loved friends?? Or don’t have the imagination for it?? Or is it funds?? Or did you kill off all the popular American people and don’t think our amazing English actors can carry the show?!!!… Read more »

Are they endoud at all? There’s so much that could go on, there’s no reason to cancel the… Read more »

That sucks. I really liked the show. The characters were great.
This is terrible news! I loved this show. Surely with all the creative writers, they could come up with another season.
