New Zealand's first kids show made by and for the rainbow community is now available to watch on the TVNZ website. Little Apocolypse is an eight part supernatural comedy/drama series, aiming to break the stigma of how queer characters are portrayed on screen.

It was filmed entirely in Wellington, at Truby King House and Gardens in Melrose, with a diverse local cast and crew. Thomas Coppell, is the series co-creator, writer, and producer. Thomas tells Susie how the project came about.
