shomi Pick of the Week: You, Me and the Apocalypse

A priest, a nun, a librarian, a white supremacist, and a bank manager walk into a bomb shelter. The perfect setup with an unfortunate punch line – the world is ending in 34 days.

Impending doom brings together this group of misfits in You, Me, and the Apocalypse, available only on shomi™. Only some will make it to a bunker beneath the English suburbs of Slough, but all of them will make surprising connections along the way. All 10 episodes of this highly serialized and seriously hilarious comedy will leave you bunkering down for a binge.

You, Me and the Apocalypse features an all-star cast, including Rob Lowe (Parks and Recreation) as a rebellious, chain-smoking, and foul-mouthed priest; Jenna Fischer (The Office) as a mild-mannered, librarian in jail for treason; a completely unrecognizable Megan Mullally (Will & Grace) as a white supremacist; Mathew Bayton (The Wrong Mans) as a humble bank manager and his sociopathic twin; and Gaia Scodellaro (Cugio e Cugino) as his timid assistant, Sister Celin. Seemingly unrelated and destined for destruction, those who make it to the bunker safely will become the incredibly lucky, and totally unsuitable, future of humankind. Now that’s a disaster!

You, Me and the Apocalypse is written and executive produced by Iain Hollands. Juliette Howell, Lynn Horsford, Tim Bevan Eric Fellner, JoAnn Alfano, Cameron Roach, Lizzie Gray and Andrew Conrad also serve as executive producers. You, Me, and the Apocalypse is an original drama from Working Title Television and Bigballs Films for Sky 1 and NBC.
