The first season of the apocalyptic comedy Everyone Else Burns will premiere on The CW this week—and another one is already on the way! After its parent network Channel 4 renewed this series for its second season this spring, The CW confirmed they’ll also be bringing it back for another ride.

Everyone Else Burns stars Simon Bird, Kate O’Flynn, Harry Connor, and Amy James-Kelly as members of the Lewis family, a strictly religious clan who believe the world will end within the decade and live their lives according to this belief.

The CW picked up this series from the British network Channel 4, so its renewal doesn’t come as a huge shocker. Its parent network already renewed the show back in May, and The CW bosses just needed to decide if they’ll air it, as well.

Brad Schwartz, president of entertainment at The CW Network, described Everyone Else Burns as “a brilliant and bitingly funny series that is as much about family as it is about the end of days” and said they’re excited to see what else it has in store.

“There is truly no other comedy on television like it, and we are thrilled to work alongside the immensely talented writers and producers to bring the uniquely hilarious Lewis family to The CW for another season,” said Schwartz in a statement.
