MY DOOMSDAY DIARIES is a high concept genre bender that mixes all the best parts of popular entertainment like STRANGER THINGS, WESTWORLD, SEVERANCE and WAR OF THE WORLDS. It’s a puzzle box sci-fi/horror show that captures the angst, drama and back-stabbing bitchiness inside a circle of best friends who experience all the typical social obstacles in high school while also dodging an alien invasion, an infestation of vampires, a zombie apocalypse and the biggest mystery of all - a dystopian future that looms high above everything below. The story follows Abby Jones, a seventeen-year-old junior at West Meadow High, a fictional suburb somewhere on the outskirts of Chicago. Abby is captain of the cheerleading squad, the smartest girl in school and a mean girl who’d be perfectly content not saving the world and instead just getting all the things she believes to be important: the national cheerleading championship; a date with Matt Stone, the hottest guy in the senior class; the title of both prom queen and valedictorian; and a chance to give a speech at the high school graduation so that everybody’s parents could wish their child was her. But when this self-obsessed superstar is visited by a mysterious messenger from a not-so-happy future and told she is the key to the survival of the Human race, she has to figure out how to get all those things while somehow juggling the plot devices of every YA fantasy novel ever. How in the world could all this happen at once? And why on earth would anybody choose a shallow, self-absorbed high school cheerleader to save the world from this terrible, unimaginable mess? Welcome to MY DOOMSDAY DIARIES.
