Starz will premiere comedy Now Apocalypse Sunday, March 10, leading out of the season two premiere of American Gods. Now Apocalypse is a comedy from Gregg Araki. Starz has signed up for 10 episodes.

“Between sexual and romantic dating-app adventures, Ulysses grows increasingly troubled as foreboding, premonitory dreams make him wonder if some kind of dark and monstrous conspiracy is going on — or if he is just smoking too much weed,” according to Starz.
Araki directed all 10 episodes and co-wrote the series with Vogue.com sex columnist Karley Sciortino, who is consulting producer.
Starz is part of Lionsgate.
