Now that Teen Wolf has come to an end (and his movie career wasn’t exactly helped by the recent horror Truth or Dare), Tyler Posey has decided to head for the apocalypse. After playing recurring characters in Jane The Virgin and Scream: The Series, he’s getting a boyfriend in the upcoming TV series, Now Apocalypse.
Variety reports that the Steven Soderbergh produced show is ‘a surreal, coming-of-age comedy that follows Ulysses and his friends Carly, Ford and Severine, who are on various quests pursing love, sex and fame in Los Angeles. 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 going on, or is he just smoking too much weed?
‘Posey will appear as Gabriel, described as an incredibly charismatic and mysterious guy that Ulysses matches with on a dating app. During their highly-anticipated first date, they can hardly contain themselves.’
Ulysses will be played by Avan Jogia, best known from Nickelodeon’s Victorious and for playing the title character in a mini-series about King Tut. It’s perhaps not too surprise that the show will have a queer lead character, as it was created by Gregg Araki, the filmmaker behind the likes of the LGBT-themed movies Mysterious Skin, Kaboom, and The Living End. The US TV network Starz has ordered a 10-episode first Season of the show, which is due to air later this year.
Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions company have managed to almost monopolise popular horror with everything from Get Out and the Paranormal Activity series to Insidious and The Purge. The producer is hoping to add another hit to the list with Truth or Dare (although I think it’s fair to say it won’t be matching Get Out’s Oscar success).

A couple of days ago Teen Wolf star Tyler Posey confused a lot of people with a Snapchat post of him standing next to a street sign for ‘Gay St.’, and saying ““I am this, and this is me. I’ve never felt more alive!… I’m gay!”. Many assumed it was a joke, others thought he was being serious and coming out, and others were merely confused, not helped by another post shortly afterwards where he was stood next to a street light where he said, “I’m lamp”.
