The show follows her on a coming-of-age adventure as she tries to leave her sheltered upbringing behind to strike it out on her own in the real world. And while she might not be able to walk elegantly in high heels, she has a distinctive skill set of her own that includes being well-versed in firearms and hand-to-hand combat.

During her very first trip to a pub, Kim meets brothers Nicky (Mawaan Rizwan) and Jay (Taheen Modak), with the landlord siblings convincing her that there's been a nuclear attack and they've got just two weeks to live.The joke inevitably goes horribly wrong, leaving Kim, her survivalist mother (played by Fleabag's Sian Clifford), and the two publicans in a dangerous situation.

We'll leave the plot teasers there, as that as we wouldn't want to spoil things for anyone, but it's safe to say that Kim's ability to skin a deer but not use a hand dryer makes for some amusing viewing over the course of the six-episode first season. Follow our guide below as we explain how to watch Two Weeks to Live online and stream the new Maisie Williams show wherever you are today.
