Netflix to bring back dark comedy which will ‘ruin your life’

The British show hasn’t been on TV in five years

By Jess Battison

Originally premiering in 2017, the British black comedy-drama had just two seasons and was distributed internationally by Netflix. The End of the F***ing World ran until 2019 and followed 17-year-old James who is ‘pretty sure he is a psychopath’ and Alyssa, also 17, the ‘cool and moody new girl and school’. Connecting, she persuades him ‘to embark on a road trip in search of her real father’.

Starring Alex Lawther and Jessica Barden, the series is based on Charles Forsman’s mini-comics which were collected into a book in 2013. Charlie Covell then wrote the TV series following a ‘lost’ short film in 2014.

The show has an impressive 94 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer with a decent 92 percent average audience score to match.

One user wrote: “The end of the f***ing world is kinda the best series I’ve ever watched tbh.”

Another said: “You should watch end of the f***ing world, it’s on Netflix and WILL RUIN UR LIFE /POS.”

You can watch both seasons of The End of the F***ing World on Netflix.
