About Derren Brown's Apocalypse

Before the Mayan calendar flips to Doomsday, SPACE asks viewers “what if the world ended tomorrow?” From BAFTA Award-winning psychological illusionist Derren Brown, DERREN BROWN: APOCALYPSE uses a compelling blend of suggestion, psychological tricks, and experiments to construct an elaborate and shocking stunt to convince one person that the planet has been devastated by a catastrophic meteor strike. The subject at the centre of the experiment is left to believe that he is one of a mere handful of survivors. The gripping two-part special airs back-to-back on Wednesday, Dec. 19 at 9 p.m. ET exclusively on SPACE.
