The end of the world is coming.
But first, you have Friday period six.

In September 2005, the world didn’t know about heroes or demons, or whether knights — new or old — still existed. Neither did six friends just trying to survive High School in Calendar, a rain‑soaked Lancashire town tucked between hills and secrets.

But what you don’t know can kill you.

Ricky Kent and Mark Matthews, two boys bound by destiny, hunt monsters in the shadows while struggling to keep up with homework, exhaustion, and the weight of a calling no teenager should bear. When a vampyric cult arrives in Calendar, the secrets they’ve fought to protect begin to pull their friends — Sara Carpenter and Amy Donaldson — into the darkness with them. Both girls soon learn that the cost of heroism may be their innocence.

Ancient evil stirs.
A watcher waits in the wings.
And forces, dark and light, have taken notice.

New in Town brings together the first five episodes of ’til the End of the World in a polished, expanded collection packed with bonus features. Darkly funny, heartfelt, and steeped in YA supernatural chaos, this is where the saga begins — where these friends learn that sometimes being a teenager really is the end of the world.
