It’s THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD!

Published

on

Based on the award-winning series of comic books by Charles Forsman, THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD
invites viewers into the dark and confusing lives of teen outsiders James (Alex Lawther​ – Black Mirror, The
Imitation Game) and Alyssa (Jessica Barden​ – The Lobster, Ellen, Penny Dreadful) as they embark on a road
trip to find Alyssa’s father, who left home when she was a child.

James, 17, is pretty sure he’s a psychopath – emotionally detached, cold and disdainful, he’s decided he’s
ready to graduate from killing animals. He thinks it might be interesting to kill something bigger…a human. And
he’s got the perfect person in mind…

Alyssa, also 17, is new in school – cool and moody, she’s existential angst made flesh. But despite being
popular at school, she still feels like she doesn’t belong. Spotting James one day at school, however, she
thinks she may have found a soulmate…

When things come to a head at home between Alyssa, her mother and stepdad, she leaves and persuades
James to join her in search of her real father. And so begins a journey of discovery that becomes progressively
ominous as James’s urge to act on his sociopathic and violent inclinations increase while Alyssa, blinded by
young love, remains wilfully ignorant of the consequences that lie at the end of the road. One night, however,
the pair find themselves caught up in events that lead them down an ever more menacing and surreal path.
Dark, intriguing, tense and chilling, and shot through with moments of dark absurdity and humour, THE END
OF THE F***ING WORLD (8 x ‘30) is written by Charlie Covell (Banana, Burn, Burn, Burn and Gap Year) and
produced by Clerkenwell Films (Misfits, Lovesick, Not Safe For Work, The Aliens) and Dominic Buchanan
Productions.

Filming begins today and the series will air on E4 later this year and be available on Netflix globally.
Roberto Troni, commissioning editor at Channel 4, said: “From the instant we were introduced to the utterly
original Charles Forsman graphic novel we knew it was something special. Reimagined by the multi-talented
Charlie Covell, Jon Entwistle and the guys at Clerkenwell for this side of the Atlantic, it’s by turns funny, brutally
violent, ultimately quite uplifting in a screwed up way. If David Lynch made a rom-com road movie about a pair
of teen misfits in British suburbia it might look something like The End of the F**cking World. What could be
more E4?”

Murray Ferguson, Chief Executive of Clerkenwell Films, said: “It’s great to be partnering once more with both
Channel 4/E4 and with Netflix on this new and ambitious project. This is a series full of originality and flair. We
can’t wait to get started.”

Charlie Covell, writer, says: “I’m thrilled that The End of the F***ing World starts filming on Monday – I can’t
believe it’s really happening! From the minute I got sent Chuck Forsman’s comics to read, I wanted in. They’re
beautiful, and they tell a dark, unconventional coming-of-age love story. It has been a massive privilege to
bring Chuck’s characters to screen.”

Commissioned for Channel 4 by Beth Willis, Head of Drama for Channel 4, and Roberto Troni, commissioning
editor, and for Netflix by Elizabeth Bradley and Alex Sapot, THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD is made by
Clerkenwell Films and Dominic Buchanan Productions.

Jonathan Entwistle and Lucy Tcherniak will direct. Kate Ogborn (The Unloved, Red Riding) is producer and
executive producers for Clerkenwell Films are Petra Fried, Ed Macdonald and Andy Baker, and executive
producer for Dominic Buchanan Productions is Dominic Buchanan (Gimme The Loot, Lilting, King Jack).
Jonathan Entwistle also serves as executive producer.

TEOTFW is represented by BBC Worldwide and managed the global deal with Netflix

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland.

He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.
