Lore & Background
The series follows Evie Covington, a bored middle-manager in a supply warehouse in Seattle, who becomes involved with Xavier Holliday, a free-spirited man who believes the world will end in eight months and twelve days. Xavier inspires Evie to create an 'apocalyst'—a list of things to do before the end. With help from her friends, Evie tries to determine if Xavier can be taken seriously while completing the bucket list. The main cast includes Tori Anderson as Evie, Joshua Sasse as Xavier, Jonathan Langdon as Hank, Sarayu Blue as Kareema, Jesse Rath as Timothy Finger, and Amy Pietz as Deirdre Hackmeyer. Recurring characters include George Basil as Xavier's cousin Jesse, Ted McGinley as Evie's father Gary, Kelly Stables as her sister Mary Anne, Gigi Rice as her mother Gloria, and Vinny Chhibber as Kareema's brother Rohan.
Reader's Guide
No Tomorrow received generally positive reviews from television critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season holds a 91% rating, with the critical consensus calling it 'a gentle, easy to digest rom-com that serves up a strong supporting cast, charming lead performances, and a hefty dose of fun.' On Metacritic, it scored 69 out of 100 based on 23 critics. TV Guide placed it eighth among the top ten most anticipated new shows of the 2016–2017 season, with reviewer Sadie Gennis praising the leads as 'infectiously charming' and noting the show's 'surreal, strange characters' and 'delightful prop comedy.' The series was canceled on May 8, 2017, but The CW released an epilogue on May 13, 2017, to provide closure. Its significance lies in its offbeat premise and its place alongside other genre-pushing rom-coms on The CW, such as Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
