What comes after the end of the world? Recently, Mat Baynton spoke to Radio Times about the possibility of a season two for his British-American sci-fi dramedy, You, Me and the Apocalypse.
The first season of the show concluded earlier this week in the UK and will air on NBC some time in 2016. SPOILERS AHEAD
Created by Iain Hollands, the series chronicles a group of characters as they deal with the news that a comet is going to hit Earth and destroy the world. The show stars Baynton as an English bank manager, Jenna Fischer and Megan Mullally as two prisoners in New Mexico, and Rob Lowe as a Vatican priest.
Speaking to Radio Times, Baynton said he’d gladly do another season, but it would “be very different to the first.”
As of yet, there is no news of the show’s renewal.
Baynton, about a possible season two:
If there’s a second series it will be very different to the first. It will be about the bunker and how people get on in there or probably about the future when they emerge from that bunker. I am not saying it will be set in a bunker but let’s say it could be.
I really liked that about this series. [Writer] Iain Hollands said ‘no, we are promising the end of the world and we are going to give the audience the end of the world’. The fact that we get there is a great thing. It’s giving the audience some sense of completion. It’s so unsatisfying having an unfinished story and you have to wait 18 months to find out what happened.”
What do you think? Did you watch the first season of You, Me and the Apocalypse? Would you like to see another season?
Please give this show another season and time to gain more viewers. It is such a good show. Here’s an idea, instead canceling You, Me and the Apocalypse, NBC, try canceling one of your bad shows!! This show is well-written, well-acted, and the fans should have a chance to see how everything works out for these characters. It’s like reading a great book and you’re almost to the end and someone snatches it away from you!! Shame on you NBC!
Stupid show but I like it should only be a one season show though they should have made it a little longer and showed us what happens when they can come out of the bunker
I love this show. There are still so many questions that need to be answered. Who’s in the box? What’s up with that monkey? What happen’s to Ariel? What about the chic’s in the other bunker, did they stay or go?
Ariel is in the bunker, he jumped Jaime and took his clothes, leaving him to die. With the series cancelled, the good guy loses, making for a very unsatisfying ending.
I know. I meant to say Jamie, not Ariel. I just want more story. Bummed.
Please renew it..loved it! First program Ive watched steadily in years !
Smartest show on TV. Please, please renew!
I think the show is fantastic, I love it. I hope there is a follow up season, but past experiFences its the good shows that are canceled. The main cast compliment each other.
I love this show! I think it’s funny, witty, and dangerous. The plots are so intertwined, leaving us to want more at the end of each episode.
Please make a second season!!!! There are still so many unanswered questions. Who is in the crate? Is Jamie dead? And please explain how Jamie is the son of God and can part waters like friggin Moses. I do not know what I will do if this show ends.
I would love to see a 2nd season. But I must disagree I think it was Ariel that got into the bunker and many other websites say the same. It was Jamie that was helping to get the door closed but if you watch it again you will see he couldn’t do it on his own and that’s when I think Ariel turned up and together they got the van unstuck and after they did there is a few moment when you can’t see Jamie this is where I think Ariel knocked him out and took his clothes and entered… Read more »
Maybe, the woman/girl in the crate is the lady who was pregnant and then Jamie helped deliver the baby. It’s either her, or a new character. I’m a little sad that Nick Offerman (the guy who dressed in lady’s clothes) didn’t get to be in the bunker.
I really think it was Jamie inside the bunker and Ariel outside with Rajesh. Think about it, Ariel was in the car with Layla and he was unconscious. Don’t know how he got naked, but he also had blood on his forehead. (Which he got from the car accident.)
i though that to
i thought that Ariel was going to help Jamie move the brick but at the end I thought that Jamie had got into the bunker and Ariel was outside pretending to be Jamie to try and get Rajesh to open the door and let him in
Did no one notice Jamie pulling himself towards the bunker by grappling a manhole cover? If they planned for a second season that ***** going to lead to the bunker
But then why did Jamie/Ariel evil-smile in the bunker?
I really hope there will be season 2. It probably depends on how well it will go in USA tho. The US air date is set on January 28, Americans, please go watch this show, it’s brilliant 🙂
I would love a second series please please
Who is in the crate?
I know right?! It’s driving me nuts!
If there were male twins, why not their sister? I’d guess Rhonda’s twin, the bad sister???
Totally up for a second seasoni need to know if jamie lives
Do the second season! I would love to see Jamie return!
