  • Contestants will face challenges including living without running water, heating, or electricity, and scavenging for food and supplies.
  • The programme aims to explore how individuals would cope in a disaster scenario within familiar towns and cities, rather than remote wilderness.
  • Produced by The Garden, Apocalypse joins Channel 4's existing survival shows, with a release date yet to be announced.
