The Last Reality Show

The Last Reality Show (Swedish: Den Sista Dokusåpan) is a Swedish comedy television series that aired on the TV 6 channel in the spring of 2012. The series portrays a zombie apocalypse as seen through the eyes of the cast and crew of a reality television show. The title of the series refers to the name of the reality show-within-a-show being produced – which is intended to bring forth the ultimate Swedish reality star (stars of actual Swedish reality shows play themselves, as do several other Swedes known for their careers in other fields) – as well as alluding to the fact that almost every episode features the 'death' of one of the reality stars. The show consisted of eight episodes. The series was created and produced by Tord Danielsson, directed by Oskar Mellander and photographed by Anders Jacobsson of Evil Ed fame.
