Wait, What?! Gregg Araki’s ‘Now Apocalypse’ Script Actually Predicted Its Own Cancellation?
- Gregg Araki’s cancelled show had a wild secret.
- Season 2 was totally written!
- The script eerily predicted its own end.
- Our thoughts on this cosmic Hollywood twist.
We just heard something wild from Gregg Araki, and our jaws are still on the floor. Remember his show, Now Apocalypse? It was that super vivid, eye-popping sci-fi series from 2019. Full of color. A real visual feast, you know?
Well, turns out Season 2 was actually completely written. Every single page. For Starz, too! But here’s the kicker. The story they had planned? It totally mirrored what happened to the show in real life. Talk about art imitating life!
Gregg spilled the beans to Deadline while chatting about his new movie, I Want Your Sex. That one’s out Friday, July 31, by the way. He said it was “so prophetic.” Like, the script knew its own fate before anyone else did. Creepy, right?
He worked on it with Karley Sciortino. Imagine pouring all that creative energy into something, only for it to reflect its own cancellation. After seven years of wondering, we finally get this amazing, almost unbelievable, explanation. What a twist!
Our Take
Okay, so we’ve been thinking about this. It’s not just a show getting cancelled, it’s a story that felt its own end. The whole Now Apocalypse vibe was always a bit surreal and dreamlike, wasn’t it? Lots of bright colors, quirky characters, a truly unique aesthetic. So, for the show’s actual demise to have this kind of bizarre, meta storyline? It just fits. It’s almost too perfect for Araki’s style. Sometimes, Hollywood twists are even stranger than fiction.
This kind of behind-the-scenes drama makes you wonder what else is going on. Remember when we heard about that producer behind ‘Joker’ getting accused of a huge scam? It’s always something wild in the entertainment world!
