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.)
It,s not possible to do another season because the problem is that they have started the series at the end. The only thing that could probably continue the series is the fact that they finally could avoid the end of the world or whatever but they describe the end of the world and life so that cannot continue.
Hmmm… What would Jamie do???
My wife and I love this show and we were waiting to see what happens after the $#!+ hit the fan…so disappointed that you and I will never know how the Apocalypse ends. It reminds me of a firecracker that gets lit but never goes bang, what a sad feeling to have.
Have just watched all episodes in two sessions loved it and cant believe they are not doing series 2.
So frustrating that they cancelled this show. Just watched the entire season and went to see when season 2 was starting and it’s cancelled. Going to start boycotting network TV. AT LEAST THE CABLE CHANNELS GIVE A SHOW MORE THAN ONE SEASON. GRRRRR
Season 2, Netflix to the rescue!!
Seriously?
It’s a flawed show but also excellent. Bring on season 2 please.
It’s a shame this was not renewed. This was a truly great series. It was original, there were many surprises, great dark humor and an absolutely outstanding cast that should at a minimum win an award as best ensemble cast in a TV series. In certain respects there were similarities with the great American series “Lost” in that as the story progressed we learned about the amazing way the characters were all cone red with each other. Unfortunately, it’s hard to keep a great show going in the old network Tv universe. It’s one reason many prefer a new sho… Read more »
OK then. What if the fans write a season 2?

My husband and I love the entire season, so sad to hear there is no season 2 coming, would like to see what would happen in the bunker with so many characters trying to start over, I think that could be even better then the first season
We LOVED this show! So upset to find out there is no season 2!!!
What’s in the box! Come on, ahhhh, what’s in the box! I mean, WHO’s in the box…!!
So sad there will be no season 2.. 🙁
I was looking forward to season 2. My husband wasn’t interested at the beginning but as the season went on he was watching all the time and catching up on the dvr’d shows. There was too much left unanswered. If other shows can be picked up by other networks, someone NEEDS to pick this show up.
Absolutely loved this show and was looking forward to all the cliff hangers to be tied up in season 2 :))) please reconsider another season!! You left us all hanging in the bunker
I was hoping to see what happened next for Jaime who was apparently trapped outside of the bunker, w/ his evil twin Ariel having made it inside.
