Based on Charles Forsman's graphic novel and written by Charlie Covell, the Netflix adaptation follows two young lovers trying to find happiness. The End of the F***ing World season 2 released in full on November 4, 2019 - just over two years after the original series' debut.
In The End of the F***ing World season 2, teenagers James and Alyssa reunite under bizarre circumstances. Two years prior, they'd spontaneously murdered a serial killer, and briefly evaded authorities until being identified at the home of Alyssa's father. The End of the F***ing World season 2 explores the psychological turmoil of the main characters, and how they manage to find peace of mind while resolving issues from the past.
