Henpocalypse! is a BBC2 comedy that shows a global deadly viruscalled 'crab measles' hitting us in 2023. If you had to choose a way to see out the end of the world, the chances are sharing the terror with a high-maintenance hen party in an isolated cottage in Wales wouldn’t be at the top of your list. But that’s exactly where we find the characters in Henpocalypse! which stars Elizabeth Berrington, Lucie Shorthouse, Callie Cooke, Lauren O’Rouke and Kate O’Flynn.
Henpocalypse! is penned by Raised By Wolves’ writer Caroline Moran and follows bridezilla Zara (Lucie Shorthouse) and her fellow working-class hens from the West Midlands as they look forward to celebrating her forthcoming nuptials. But the hen-do celebrations are cut short when it becomes clear that the apocalypse is on the way. Writer Caroline Moran says: “This is a dream cast, the locations are epic, the apocalypse has never been so much fun”
