Rounding out the show’s core quartet is Carly (Kelli Berglund), an unemployed actor by day and cam girl by night. Ford’s in a relationship with Severine (Roxane Mesquida), an astrobiological theorist at some sort of ultra-futuristic research facility that could double as an international modeling agency. Ulysses lives with Ford, a college friend and aspiring screenwriter, who is described in the press notes as a “beefcake,” though “beau hunk” would be doubly accurate, I suppose, since he’s played by Beau Mirchoff. The first three episodes of Now Apocalypse premiered at Sundance ahead of the show’s March 10 Starz premiere, and what they form, in Araki terms, is basically Nowhere delivered in 30-minute episodic bites.ĭirected by Araki, who co-wrote with Slutever sexpert Karley Sciortino, Now Apocalypse is the Los Angeles odyssey of Ulysses (Avan Jogia), a former aspiring actor now living a life of pot-induced low motivation, obsessing over a new, mysterious online dating crush, Tyler Posey’s Gabriel.
