Channel 4 has given us a first look at new dark comedy drama The End of the F***ing World, which has Gemma Whelan and Steve Oram among its cast.

The End of the F***ing World will launch as a complete box set exclusively on All 4 later this month, with the first episode premiering on Channel 4.

The eight-part series, based on an award-winning series of comic books, will invite viewers into the confused lives of teen outsiders James (Alex Lawther) and Alyssa (Jessica Barden) 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 Wunmi Mosaku and TVO regular Gemma Whelan.

Meet James and Alyssa in preview clips from Channel 4 over here.
