Netflix has commissioned a 10-part live-action children’s series from Wildseed Studios, the company behind Fullscreen scripted thriller PrankMe.
The Last Bus is billed as a sci-fi road trip adventure, which tells the story of a group of mismatched school kids who band together to face a fearsome new machine intelligence.
It is being written and created by Paul Neafcy, who was spotted by Wildseed after posting films on YouTube from his bedroom. Neafcy also worked with Wildseed on PrankMe.
Another YouTube creator, Drew Casson, will direct alongside Lawrence Gough and Steve Hughes, both of whom have helmed episodes of Doctor Who. Nour Wazzi is a fourth director.
The Last Bus will be filmed in Bristol and the South West of England. Pre-production starts imminently, with the shoot taking place over the fall.

After tendering roughly 20 layoffs in order to amplify efforts around original programming, Fullscreen has provided a sneak peek at one of its most highly anticipated upcoming shows -- a thriller called PrankMe directed by YouTube star Hazel Hayes.
First announced back in June, PrankMe follows a young social media star named Jasper Perkins -- played by Emmy nominee Corey Fogelmanis (Girl Meets World) -- who transforms from an online prankster into a murderer who uses his following to find new victims. The eight-episode series was written by Paul Neafcy (Jack And Dean Of All Trades) and shot in London over the summer. It represents Hayes’ biggest directorial effort to date -- though she has posted several short films, web series, and sketches to her Chewing Sand YouTube channel, which counts roughly 250,000 subscribers.
