A dark, coming-of-age tale about two teenagers is being adapted for TV for delivery to Channel 4 and Netflix.

The End of the F***ing World was originally a mini-comic by Charles Forsman. Director Jonathan Entwhistle, who is well known for his work in commercials and short films, is at the helm – several years ago he also wrote and directed a short version that became the pilot episode for the same project.

Entwhistle is also among the executive producing team; the show comes from actor/writer Charlie Covell and Clerkenwell Films.

Pre-production is underway on The End of the F***ing World – PI subscribers can log into the site for details on the studio and key hires.

The UK is brimming with film and TV productions at the moment with Netflix contributing significantly to the upswing.
