Two very sexy reasons you should watch this underrated queer sci-fi comedy
Now Apocalypse.Despite baring many of the director’s trademarks—queer exploration, hot and horny young people, apocalyptic anxieties—the colorful, sci-fi-twinged comedy never quite seemed to find its audience on Starz and was canceled after only one season, leaving things hanging with some frustrating loose ends.While Now Apocalypse didn’t break through the way it should have back in 2019, it sure feels like folks are coming around to it now—at least, according to Gay Twitter™.Recently, images from the series have been making the rounds on the app, prompting fans to sing its praises.
The images in question? Why, they’re of stars Avan Jogia and Beau Mirchoff looking exceptionally hot:queria muito um revival de now apocalypse, os plots eram ótimos: pic.twitter.com/owcoPk3dQXJogia leads the series as Ulysses Zane, an aimless queer twenty-something living in Los Angeles who finds himself falling down a rabbit hole of conspiracies after his hook-up (Teen Wolf‘s Tyler Posey, in a sexy cameo role) mysteriously vanishes and he begins having visions about the end of the world involving reptilian aliens.Meanwhile, Mirchoff—who most recently appeared on Hallmark’s Ride opposite our favorite gay cowboys—plays Ford, Ulysses’ straight bestie and roommate who desperately wants to be a successful actor.
Throughout the season, he deals with both a girlfriend who presses for an open relationship and a predatory director who promises him stardom but winds up using Ford for his body.Whether you want to add to your watch list, or just enjoy seeing two men touch tongues, this Twitter’s got you covered.No, Ulysses and Ford don’t hook up in the series, for what it’s worth.
