APOCALYPSE: FIRST LOOK AT MAJOR NEW CHANNEL 4 SOCIAL EXPERIMENT REALITY FORMAT, MEET THE CAST

A new eight-part Channel 4 reality format from The Garden, who produced Alone for the broadcaster.

In this bold and ambitious social experiment, Channel 4 is sending a group of ordinary people to a jaw dropping, real world location - an abandoned town that bears all the hallmarks of being ravaged by an apocalyptic event. 

They'll have to survive for 28 days without running water, heating, or electricity. They'll need to scavenge for food and supplies, reusing and repurposing anything they find but only if they can muster skills and wherewithal to do it. In a world with limited resources, will the contestants form a group and work together, or will the group fall apart and become survival of the fittest and smartest.

Ian Dunkley, commissioning editor at Channel 4 says: “Apocalypse will be the real deal - ordinary people in an authentic urban setting facing extraordinary but completely credible challenges. We’ve all wondered how we would cope if disaster struck close to home, and this series promises to give us a very good idea.”

Nicola Brown, Creative Director at The Garden says: “Apocalypse is a hugely ambitious new take on the beloved survival genre.  We're dropping our cast in an incredible urban landscape, filled with the debris of modern life.  In this alien yet familiar world, they'll start again from scratch, and discover what's really important to them. We can't wait to chart the highs and lows as our cast face a series of tough choices, battling the environment and perhaps even each other...”

Apocalypse begins this Autumn on Channel 4.
