the end of the f***ing world
Running Time: 16 x 30 min
The End of the F***ing World has been adapted from Charles Forsman’s award-winning comic books of the same name, written by Charlie Covell, with Alex Lawther and Jessica Barden leading the cast. They are joined by BAFTA award-winning Wunmi Mosaku and Gemma Whelan.
James and Alyssa are rebel teenagers running away from home. On a weird and wonderful journey across a diverse British netherworld… From dreary suburbia and rundown shopping malls to lush landscapes and big vistas, they’re on a quest to find a better life.
The first episode premiered on 24th October 2017 on C4, with the complete box set launching immediately afterwards on All4. It then launched worldwide on Netflix on 5th January 2018.
After the breakout success of the first series, a second was commissioned by Channel 4 and Netflix in early 2018, to air in November 2019.
The story picks up the action a couple of years on, as Alyssa tries to move on after everything that happened.
