Here's your first look at Channel 4's new series The End Of The F***ing World, based on Charles Forsman's incredibly dark comic…

A new Channel 4 series produced alongside streaming service Netflix, The End Of The F***ing World is set to launch as a complete box set on All 4 later in the month, and the first episode will premiere on the channel ahead of that.

Written by Charlie Covell (Humans) and based on the comics by Charles Forsman, the 8-episode series has been directed by talented up-and-comers Jonathan Entwistle and Lucy Tcherniak. It looks dark as hell and utterly intriguing, and now you can take a look at the first clips from the forthcoming show yourself, courtesy of Channel 4.

Here they are…

And here are some more details on the story…

The End Of The F***ing World invites viewers into the confused lives of teen outsiders James (Alex Lawther – Black Mirror, The Imitation Game) and Alyssa (Jessica Barden – The Lobster, Ellen, Penny Dreadful) as they decide to escape from their families and embark on a road trip to find Alyssa’s estranged father. As the pair get caught up in a series of violent events, they find themselves on a journey of discovery that becomes progressively ominous, trailed by two uniquely mismatched police detectives – played by BAFTA-winning Wunmi Mosaku (Damilola Our Loved Boy) and Gemma Whelan (Game Of Thrones, The Moorside)

More as we have it.
