Looking on in horror at the apparent dedication of the new president and his ragtag electorate to reproducing all of humanity’s worst mistakes are scientist and beleaguered single mother of two (her nanny was melted during the invasion and now she has no childcare – “My hip pain has spread to my jaw”) Dr Farrah Braun (Tina Fey) and historian Simon Prioleau (Sam Richardson). Military matters are overseen by a wayward teen (Ayo Edebiri) who had the street smarts to dress in the uniform of a dead high-ranking marine and is now known as General Scarpaccio despite the uniform being six sizes too big for him. His self-appointed vice-president is Senator Cartwright LaMarr (Dana Carvey), bent on becoming the true power behind the scenes and dreaming of a world in which “corporations are people and people are not!” He is soon in cahoots with Johnny Zhao (Ronny Chieng), the richest man in the world since Jeff Bezos and fellow multi-billionaires took off in a rocket that was mown down by the aliens. Mulligan is made president and Lucy Suwan (Chrissy Teigen), the Miss America candidate with whom he was having a fling when the apocalypse began, becomes First Lady.
