The Last Kids on Earth

Overview

When the monster apocalypse hits the town of Wakefield, 13-year-old Jack Sullivan refuses to hide in a basement and wait for rescue. Instead, he claims a tricked-out treehouse, arms himself with a baseball bat and a skateboard, and rounds up his friends to take on zombies, giant monsters and the ancient evil pulling the strings. The Last Kids on Earth is a Netflix animated series based on Max Brallier’s bestselling book series of the same name, and it turns the end of the world into a playground for brave, funny and surprisingly heartfelt adventures.

Across three ‘Books’, Jack, June, Quint and Dirk build a monster-fighting family of their own, befriending some creatures, battling others, and learning that surviving is easier – and a lot more fun – together. With a voice cast led by Nick Wolfhard, Mark Hamill, Catherine O’Hara and Bruce Campbell, the show mixes slapstick comedy, genuine scares and big-hearted storytelling, making it a family favourite that never talks down to its audience.
