Plot Synopsis

THE LAST BUS is an action-packed eco-fable that follows a group of mismatched students on a school trip who become unlikely heroes when a robot apocalypse zaps away the rest of humanity. The story opens with the students traveling to the launch of the "genie orbs," a new class of robot designed to clean up the environment. When the artificial intelligence-powered orbs are introduced by tech billionaire Dalton Monkhouse, they appear to vaporize everyone in the audience and thousands of identical events all over the world. The students just manage to make it back through the carnage to their rickety old school bus and head home in search of answers, only to be met by a mysteriously empty world. The entire 10-episode first season of THE LAST BUS premiered on Friday, April 1, 2022 on Netflix.
