Channel 4’s End of the World Night will reveal the fate of humanity this spring.

The special one-off 90-minute programme will take a look at the science facts behind the science fiction, with some of the world’s foremost academics evaluating the many threats to our civilization, and answering the question ‘How will the world end?’.

End of the World Night will feature a ‘Top 10’ countdown of ways in which humanity could end.

Nicolas Kent, Creative Director of Oxford Film and Television comments: “Hollywood disaster movies aren’t just popcorn entertainment. The reason they are so successful is that they express our subconscious fears. In End of the World Night, with help from some of the world’s leading scientists, we identify the real threats to human survival on this planet as well as the ones we shouldn’t take too seriously.”

Rob Coldstream, Commissioning Editor for Specialist Factual at Channel 4, added: “The apocalypse film is one of the most popular and prolific genres of science fiction, but the truth could be even scarier than the movies. We’ve commissioned this one-off special to examine this captivating area of science in closer detail, and, in true Channel 4 style, answer one of life’s big questions: How might our world end?”
