What’s worse than going to your high school reunion? Being there when the apocalypse strikes and finding yourself doomed to see out your final days with people you’ve spent years running from. This is the premise of Class of ’07, a new eight-part Amazon Prime comedy that follows a group of 28-year-olds as they navigate life after a huge climate event maroons them on the newly formed island that was once their all-girls high school.
Leading the story is Zoe (Emily Browning), who shows up at the reunion during a personal crisis and reconnects with ex-best friend Zoe (Megan Smart) and former mean girl Saskia (Caitlin Stasey). Also there are stoner duo Tegan (Bernie Van Tiel) and Megan (Chi Nguyễn), former school captain Genevieve (Claire Lovering) and scholarship student-turned crypto queen Phoebe (played to perfection by the very funny Steph Tisdell). Together they must find a way to survive with dwindling food stocks and process the unresolved trauma and residual rage that quickly comes floating to the surface. Think Yellowjackets but with shoey references.
