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 figures. Most shows I like seem to not impress NBC. It was really cute.
NO! NO! NO! This show was to good! You have to reconsider! I want to see that group in the bunker and how they interact.
why??? i loved the show. The Show Must Go ON!
Seriously, just found out cancelled. What is wrong with the world! This was the only show I watched on the three networks. You know I am so sick of cop shows, and that seems to be the only ones out there, or overly sexual innuendos on sitcoms. We need to bring this back! I am very disappointed.
What?! Seriously?!! Why would you cancel such a great show?!! I need to see the rest of it!! I will never watch another of his shows because he just leaves you hanging and disappointed!!! That’s extremely unsatisfying! Why try to get into a show of theirs if he’s just going to stop it without out a conclusion, such a waist of time! So very disappointed!

I am dying to see more! Love the actors and absolutely love the story line. Really wishing for more seasons!
Watched the full series today and really enjoyed it, dissappointed to know their wont be a second season. Would love to know who was in the crate
LOVED this show. So sad to see different shows canceled so quickly!
How about giving them a shot and forget the stupid cops and bad guy
shows that are on constantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, no, no. I loved this show. I was really looking forward to see it this fall. Phooey!
The first season finale was so good that it left me wanting to know what happens next. I was heartbroken to see it was canceled. This was such a good show, so different. We want more!!!!
There was no “natural conclusion” to this show! It left us with a cliff-hanger. There was so much more to be explored and I really am dumbfounded that this show was not continued, at least for one more season. I completely agree with the comments made by Cheyenne. There were countless directions the writers could have taken the plot. I loved this show and could not be more disappointed. This was one of the few shows on NBC I followed.
The non renewel of this show only shows a lack of creativity. The last episode shows a “messiah” like act no matter which one actually did it. Not only could the writers show Jamie getting into the bunker but, show as the “messiah’s” power strengthen with belief and see if they can heal the Earth etc.
There were many places to go but, they just didn’t want to is the issue. EXTREMEMLY disappointing.
I loved this show – one of the funniest things I’ve seen in ages. Bring it back PLEASE!!!
Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need Season 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
