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.)
I liked the show and was looking forward to season 2. Bummed
I am so bummed. I really wanted to see what was going to happen:(
I personally enjoyed the 1st season and was looking forward to seeing how “the son of God” survived the dust cloud,who was in the box,who knocked off grams and MOSTLY who killed aerial !!! Here’s hoping they relaunch for a 2nd season ✌
I was wondering when I was going to see the continuation. I loved the show and sad it was cancelled.
I am very disappointed and sad by this decision; please reconsider.
I am very disappointed by this decision. Reconsider please.
I’m so upset!!!! I’ve been looking forward to season 2. That is just wrong what a great show. How disappointing!!!!
If that’s the end, Im gutted. Theres way too many questions that I need answering! I know it’s not looking likely that it will return, but I’ll sign the petition linked in a post on here all the same. I couldn’t recommend the series as it is, ‘cos that anti climax has really bummed me out. I found it this morning and marathon watched the lot, which sent me on a search for info on series 2, which led me here, to sadness… So, Jamie, son of God, is dead. Saving a dozen people, one of which is a vile… Read more »
I get the point, i get they made the finale with that plot twist at the very last minute and if they make the 2nd season would be a little forced. But i love the show and of course i want another season… Is a marvelous story and, if producers do the right thing, a second season would be amazing.
Mi humilde opinión desde México. Saludos a todos 🙂

Please bring it back. The show was amazing. Thought provoking and risky. I have been counting the days waiting for its return and am very hurt and dissapointed on the news it will not. The second season had so many roads that the writers brilliantly left to follow and I know they could def meet the high expectations they set. They deserve a chance to do so. We the loyal fans deserve a chance to view its beauty. It is a grave mistake not to let this show breathe. I truly believe the second season has many opportunities to surpass… Read more »
I want to see more and really wanna know who’s in the crate … Bring it back plz I loved seeing that show
I had no clue how they were planning on continuing any story once the comet hit, but I was avidly waiting to see how he survived being outside the bunker…because he MUST have survived…he was special like his mom always knew!
Great story line.
Great Brit actors.
….”Emma Peel”…. Excellent choice for “mom”
Please continue. It really was a good series
I want more! Such a great cast of actors. Fun and entertaining storyline.
