The End We Start From: watch the trailer for Jodie Comer’s nail-biting new survival thriller

1 min read

Following a young family fighting to survive devastating floods in London, the trailer for nail-biting new thriller The End We Start From has just been released.


Prima Facie may have finished its run in the West End and on Broadway, but its talented star Jodie Comer can soon be seen in another starring role. After her jaw-dropping turn in the smash-hit one-woman play, and having played assassin Villanelle for four seasons in the hit BBC series Killing Eve, the Bafta- and Tony-winning actor plays an unnamed mother struggling amid a global climate crisis in The End We Start From, in cinemas in January.

Here’s everything we know so far about Comer’s upcoming apocalyptic film and a first look at the gripping trailer.

What is the plot of The End We Start From?

Based on the heart-wrenching 2017 novel by Megan Hunter and adapted for the screen by Alice Birch (Normal People, Succession, The Wonder), the thriller revolves around a young family torn apart when devastating floods swallow up the city of London. A dystopian story of survival and motherhood, Comer stars as a mother who tries to find her way home during this crisis, with her newborn baby in tow.
