After working on popular and acclaimed shows like Rick and Morty and Community, writer and producer Dan Guterman delves into a very different kind of story with the Netflix original animated series Carol & the End of the World. After humanity learns of an exoplanet hurtling towards Earth that is slated to end all life, unassuming protagonist Carol Kohl struggles to find her place and purpose as society around her takes advantage of their final months. Carol navigates this world in the midst of a mass existential crisis, looking to find the meaning of life in the face of impending doom.
