Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Production has begun on the second season of The End of the F***ing World.

The first season of the dark comedy, produced by Channel 4 and Netflix, took its basis from comic book series by Charles Forsman, following two teen outsiders – Alex Lawther’s James and Jessica Barden’s Alyssa – as they head out on a road trip to find Alyssa’s father, who left home when she was a child.

Barden posted a photo of the new season’s shooting script to Twitter, accompanied by the date of 1 March, while Netflix’s See What’s Next Twitter account also announced that filming had begun on the new episodes.

“Merry Christmas. See you soon,” she wrote.

Back in 2018, series director Jonathan Entwistle told Collider: “We’re exploring and we’re seeing what we can do to expand the world and see where we get to.”

“But we conceived the show as, in a way, as a movie; a movie in structure. And I think that that is something we’re going to have to expand if we want a bigger story.”

The first season covered the entirety of Forsman’s comics, meaning any further episodes will have to expand beyond the original narrative.

The End of the F***ing World will debut on Channel 4 in the UK, before reaching Netflix at a later date.
