The songs featured in the first season of The End of the F***ing World were one of the best parts about the cult Netflix and Channel 4 series, and Season 2 continues this trend with a soundtrack full of obscure gems that fans have frantically been searching since the show was released.
Fans have been so desperate to find tracks from the show, in fact, that lines from songs like "kiss me each morning for a million years" and "I like potatoes" have been trending on search engines as viewers try to find and stream The End of the F***ing World tracks.
Alongside tracks by Bob Dylan, The Kinks and Fleetwood Mac, Season 2 also follows in the path of Season 1, with Graham Coxon returning with 20 new songs that play across the eight episodes.
