Dumbsday

2023 · 1 season

A wry, offbeat survival comedy that mines existential dread for laughs, feeling both claustrophobic and silly.

Overview: Dumbsday is a comedy-drama which plays with the conventions of post-apocalyptic TV series. The world has gone to hell in every possible way – and only seven people have survived. The show begins with our seven main characters trapped in an under-ground train tunnel in Oslo. Will they survive? And can these people really be the future of humanity?
How it feels: Dark, satirical, absurd and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, isolation, found family, identity
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
