The news of Everyone Else Burns comes just a few weeks after The CW ordered a second season of the critically acclaimed apocalyptic family comedy following Channel 4’s renewal of the UK series in August.

They are the most recent acquisitions to be pulled from the network, following Australian series Bump and Barons, which were pulled halfway through Seasons 2 and 1, respectively. Down to Earth With Zac Efron and Fantastic Friends, starring James and Oliver Phelps, were canceled after two episodes each.

Everyone Else Burns follows the Lewises, a strictly religious family who believe the world will end within the decade. Patriarch David (Simon Bird) longs for the church to promote him. Long-suffering Fiona (Kate O’Flynn) hungers for a life beyond sermons and squash. Aaron (Harry Connor) is a model young believer – except his drawings feature the rest of the family burning in hell. And anxious 17-year-old Rachel (Amy James-Kelly) is about to fall for someone who could save her social life, but also damn her soul.

The series is written by Dillon Mapletoft and Oliver Taylor and season two is co-produced by Jax Media (part of Imagine Entertainment) and Universal International Studios (a division of Universal Studio Group), in association with The CW Network and Channel 4. Executive producers include Brooke Posch, Tony Hernandez and Jax Media’s Molly Seymour as well as Dillon Mapletoft and Oliver Taylor.

Run the Burbs follows the Phams, a young, bold Vietnamese-South Asian family taking a different approach to living life to the fullest, while changing the way we think about contemporary family values and life in the burbs. Often the instigators of community events and always the first to know what’s going on in the neighborhood, the Phams have become the heart of their cul-de-sac. Through all the challenges and stresses of everyday suburban life, the Phams take on the world as a cohesive unit. Because together, nothing can beat phamily.

Andrew Phung (Kim’s Convenience), who co-created and executive produces the series with Scott Townend, stars as stay-at-home dad Andrew Pham. Rahkee Morzaria (What We Do in the Shadows) stars as Andrew’s free-spirited entrepreneur wife Camille, Zoriah Wong (Nancy Drew) as their teenage daughter Khia, and Roman Pesino (Odd Squad) as their clever young son Leo.

Run The Burbs is a CBC Original Production produced by Pier 21 Films and distributed by Fifth Season.
