Lowe will play Father Jude, the Vatican’s most rebellious priest who finds his world turned upside down by news of the impending apocalypse.

The actor commented: “I’ve always been a fan of the kind of smart, ambitious and challenging filmmaking that comes from Sky and Working Title. This script and my character in particular, blew me away.”

He’ll be joined by Mathew Baynton humble Slough bank manager Jamie, Pauline Quirke as Jamie’s loving but tough-as-nails mum Paula and Paterson Joseph General Gaines.

The series also stars Jenna Fischer (The Office), Megan Mullally (Will and Grace), and Joel Fry (Game of Thrones).

Adam MacDonald, Director of Sky 1 commented: “Apocalypse Slough is world-class, high- concept new drama for Sky 1. The show has bundles of energy, vibrancy and laughter, as well as delivering an exuberant heart-warming story on an epic scale.

“We are really excited to have Rob, Mathew, Jenna, Megan, Pauline, Paterson and Joel involved in the show. They are all exceptionally talented actors and their casting represents the vision and ambition we have for the series.”
