Gregg Araki, best known for the 'Teen Apocalypse Trilogy' of the '90s is now making a television series titled 'Now Apocalypse', starring Avan Jogia, Tyler Posey, Beau Mirchoff, Kelli Berglund and others. This is Araki's debut television show, not counting the pilot episode that the director shot for MTV in the early 2000s, which was titled 'This is How The World Ends'. While the show did not materialize, the pilot episode is now available on YouTube and has all the elements of an Araki film. The episode also brings us to the question, is 'Now Apocalypse' a post-millennial version of the show that never took off?
