Interactive Special for The Last Kids on Earth

The Last Kids on Earth is getting two new franchise extensions, including an interactive special produced by Atomic Cartoons.

The interactive special episode of the animated series will begin streaming on April 6 on Netflix. Titled “Happy Apocalypse to You,” the episode will allow viewers to use their remote controls to decide what the gang will do as they encounter angry wretches, ferocious maulers, fearsome octogrutes, zombies and more, on the way to a birthday extravaganza.

On the same day, The Last Kids on Earth: Thrilling Tales from the Tree House, the first-ever graphic novel in the best-selling series, will also hit store shelves. In its latest book installment, fans get their first chance to experience The Last Kids on Earth in the form of a graphic novel.

“With audiences calling the shots, we can’t wait to see what kind of adventures—and calamities—they’ll cook up for Jack, June, Quint and Dirk in this thrilling interactive special episode of The Last Kids on Earth,” said Matthew Berkowitz, chief creative officer of Thunderbird and Atomic Cartoons and series executive producer. “We have been so honored by the response our series has received so far, and we’re excited to see how fans of The Last Kids on Earth enjoy having the power—and responsibility—of deciding the fates of their favorite characters on screen!”

“The behind-the-scenes journey that brought The Last Kids on Earth to life on screen has been incredible. And now, together with Atomic Cartoons, we’re taking another exciting step forward, giving viewers the power to control the destiny of their favorite characters,” said Max Brallier, author of the book series and creator of the animated series. “And being able to time the streaming premiere of our new interactive episode with the launch of the next book in the series, means we’re able to offer fans a double whammy of excitement,
laughter and, of course, zombies and monsters.”
