The End of the F**king World looks set to get another season

Paul Moore

If you haven’t seen it on Netflix, it’s an absolute gem. Great news.

If you haven’t seen The End of the Fucking World then we’re not going to spoil the ending for you but as the season finale aired, plenty of people wanted to see more of James and Alyssa.

Since the E4 show was picked up by Netflix, it has cemented its status as a comedy cult-classic and with lines like ‘I’m gonna be so fucked off if we get murdered,’ it’s easy to see why.

In case you haven’t seen it yet then you’re in luck. The TV show tells the story of James (Alex Lawther), a teenage boy who’s ‘pretty sure he’s a psychopath’, and Alyssa (Jessica Barden), his rebellious classmate hat’s looking to escape her chaotic home life.

Together, they set out on a road trip and chaos ensues.

Based on Charles Forsman’s comic book series, the show originally premiered on Channel 4 back in October and it has found a massive audience after Netflix decided to stream it. As for the prospects of another season, the series creator revealed that they’re currently exploring ways in which they could “continue the tone of the show”.

“We’re looking at what the people who loved the show are saying, to see how we can unpack that and how we could continue the tone of the show. Because I think that is so crucial. For me, it’s about James and Alyssa – and I think that’s what people have connected with. I think a season two would have to involve James and Alyssa somehow. I just love the world of them out there on the road, doing something in a weird world. So for me, any story that we expand keeps them out there somewhere,” Entwistle told Thrillist.

In a previous interview with Digital Spy, Entwistle discussed the potential of where the show can go – now that it has eclipsed the comic book source material.

“If there’s a continuing story there, then we’ll carry it on and I think that [the characters] James and Alyssa are just so amazing that it’d be very interesting to see if or what happens next. So, I guess it’s kind of open — and it’s not necessarily up to me, either.”

With a rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, it could be your next TV addiction.
