'The End of the F***ing World' revived for second season

Netflix and British TV broadcaster Channel 4 have renewed "The End of the F***ing World" for another season.

The news was announced by Channel 4 in a press release and it said that creator Charlie Covell will be back to write the second season.

The series, an adaptation of Charles Forsman's comic series of the same name, is a co-production between the streaming giant and Channel 4.

The first series follows teen outsiders James (Alex Lawther), a budding psychopath, and Alyssa (Jessica Barden), his rebellious classmate. Together, they embark on a road trip which descends into a dark comic chaos.

"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," said 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," he added.

The series will be executive produced by Covell, Murray Ferguson, Ed Macdonald, Andy Baker, Dominic Buchanan, and Jonathan Entwistle.
