Channel 4 Renews ‘The End of the F***king World’ For Season 2

Channel 4 has renewed RTS Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated series The End of the F***ing World for a 2nd season the broadcaster has announced today.

The first series saw teen outsiders James (Alex Lawther – ‘Black Mirror’, ‘The Imitation Game’) and Alyssa (Jessica Barden – ‘The Lobster’, ‘Ellen’, ‘Penny Dreadful’) embark on a road trip which descended into darkly comic chaos. After finding themselves embroiled in a series of violent events they are soon trailed by two uniquely mismatched police detectives, played by BAFTA-winning Wunmi Mosaku (‘Damilola Our Loved Boy’, ‘Kiri’) and Gemma Whelan (‘Game of Thrones’, ‘The Moorside’). After a shocking series finale, only one thing is certain… expect the unexpected.

“Lurching between black and joyous, The End of The F***ing World was one of the most original and beguiling pieces of drama to emerge from Britain in years,” commented Ian Katz, Director of Programmes at Channel 4. “I’m so proud that Channel 4 brought it to the screen and beyond excited that Charlie and the brilliant team at Clerkenwell are giving us a second helping.”

“The End of The F***ing World is a truly special show that constantly intrigues,” adds Beth Willis, Head of Drama at Channel 4. “It has an almost alchemical blend of pitch-black humour and beautifully warm tenderness which marks it out as a truly unique show. We’re so proud that this global success story began at Channel 4 and that a second series is on its way. Charlie’s witty, wonderful world is back and we can’t wait to see where she takes it next.”

Season 2 will be written by Charlie Covell and inspired by the characters from the award-winning series of comic books by Charles Forsman. The series will be produced by Clerkenwell Films and Dominic Buchanan Productions. The Executive Producers will be Murray Ferguson, Ed Macdonald, Andy Baker, Charlie Covell, Dominic Buchanan and Jonathan Entwistle. The series is commissioned by Beth Willis, Head of Drama at Channel 4 and Lee Mason, Commissioning Editor for Channel 4 Drama.

You can catch Season 1 of The End of the F***ing World on All4 and on Netflix. Channel 4 hasn’t announced a broadcast date for the 2nd Season, but we would expect it to premiere in 2019.
