A new Channel 4 survival-based series is searching for applicants from Northumberland. 

Could you survive 28 days without modern comforts or technology?

That's the challenge at the heart of Apocalypse, a new survival reality series for Channel 4 from The Garden, the production company behind 24 Hours in A&E and Squid Game: The Challenge.

The series imagines a world where civilisation has collapsed, and contestants must endure 28 days without light, power, water or heat.

People are now invited to apply for a potential second series, with producers seeking a broad mix of adults from across the UK.

No previous survival experience is required.

Applicants must be aged 18 or over, and the deadline for entries is October 4.

Those interested can apply online at https://eu.castitreach.com/ag/itvgarden7/apocalypse/welcome.html.

Production company The Garden is known for other popular shows including 24 Hours in Police Custody and 24 Hours in A&E.
