The 10-episode season will air weekly, like all other STARZ Originals. It will be available exclusively on Prime Video Channels in the UK and Germany.

As for the U.S., it will be available through STARZ. It’s not clear about some other parts of the world that don’t have access to STARZPLAY yet. Bell Media in Canada is still working on a deal with STARZ to bring STARZPLAY to the country but there’s no word on when that will happen next year.

Now Apocalypse is a sexy and fast-moving comedy series. If you love the likes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Gilmore Girls, there’s a high chance that you’ll enjoy this series for the same fast-paced storytelling.

Avan Jogia stars as Ulysses, struggling to figure out life in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Kelli Berglund’s Carly, Beau Mirchoff’s Ford, and Roxane Mesquida’s Severine are pursing fame, sex, love, and so much more. Yes, expect plenty of sexual chemistry and dating adventures, as the four individuals come entangled in a monstrous conspiracy. Or, you know, it could just be hallucinations from the weed.

Araki has directed all 10 episodes of Now Apocalypse and co-wrote the entire series with Vogue.com’s sex columnist Karley Sciortino. The show also stars Teen Wolf alum Tyler Posey according to Variety.

It’s clear that STARZ wants this show to perform well. Now Apocalypse gets a lead-in from the highly anticipated American Gods Season 2.
