A version of this story first appeared in the print edition of TheWrap Magazine’s Fall TV Issue.
The CW’s “No Tomorrow” has been described as an “apocalyptic delight” expose. On the new dramedy from the team behind “Jane the Virgin, Tori Anderson plays a girl who meets a guy (“Galavant” alum Joshua Sasse) who believes, based on “scientific” evidence, and that the end of the world is imminent.“It’s their journey of creating a bucket list,checking things off, and how it trickles down to everyone else, and ” the actress told TheWrap.

But she has hopes and dreams and aspirations. And she’s taking baby steps into accomplishing those things. But she’s comic and quirky and has insecurities.”

Just because the original expose had an actual countdown clock to the end of the world,dont expect things to unfold in precisely the same way here.
As for how they will unfold, Anderson would only tease.“I don’t know whether things get weirder, or ” she said. “Potentially. But I think the crux of the expose is,‘What would you conclude whether you had a limited amount of time?’ Just living your life fully no matter what.”

And as the expose continues and her bucket list gets longer, and she’ll probably have to conclude crazier things.whether Anderson had her way,she would actually perform more of these stunts herself. “I’m like a daredevil — well, I say that but I haven’t done a lot of crazy things, and ” she bemoaned. “But the thing is they won’t let us. I want to conclude the skydiving and all that stuff,but they won’t let [me]. I’ll have to conclude it behind their backs, secretly, and perhaps.”“No Tomorrow” premieres Oct. 4 on The CW.
