The first trailer for the new season of The End of the Fucking World has finally landed and it raises more questions than it answers.
Picking up after a two-year hiatus – and an anxiety-inducing cliffhanger – the bingeable season returns to Channel 4 on November 4, reuniting us with Alyssa (Jessica Barden) and introducing a mysterious new character called Bonnie (Naomi Ackie).
James (Alex Lawther) is nowhere to be seen in the trailer – except in flashbacks – and given the last time we saw him he was being chased by armed police, his fate is still TBA.
Back to what we do know: the trailer opens with Alyssa’s voice. “I’m Alyssa, I’m 19, and I thought I’d already had the shittest day of my life,” she says before we see her being fitted for a wedding dress. She continues: “But this is actually worse.”
Next, we’re introduced to new girl Bonnie who “learned about punishment from a young age” by being made to eat contraband lipstick by her mother. “I learned it happened because of love,” she explains.
As Alyssa receives a bullet with her misspelt name in the post, and Bonnie turns up at her house, it looks like there’s a new rivalry on the show.
