New Original Family Sci-Fi Series Set for Netflix

Netflix is set to debut the new live-action sci-fi series The Last Bus, produced by U.K.-based Wildseed Studios, on April 1.

The ten-episode series follows a group of mismatched students on a school trip who become unlikely heroes when a robot apocalypse gets rid of the rest of humanity. The cast features Robert Sheehan (Umbrella Academy, Misfits) and Tom Basden (After Life, Plebs).

Also among the cast are Lauryn Ajufo (Boiling Point), Moosa Mostafa (Nativity Rocks, Tim Burton’s Wednesday), Marlie Morrelle, Phoebe De Silva, Carys John (School of Rock, Love Me, Parch), Nathanael Saleh (Mary Poppins Returns, The Letter for the King), Daniel Frogson (His Dark Materials), Lara McDonnell (Belfast, Artemis Fowl) and Curtis Kantsa (Blue Story).

The Last Bus was created and written by Paul Neafcy, who was spotted by Wildseed Studios while making films on his mobile phone for YouTube from his bedroom. This marks the third series Wildseed has worked on with Neafcy, following Phillip Human and PrankMe.
