Daubed on walls, trending on socials, appearing in every language in every country all over the world and always reading the same. Nobody knows where it originated only that it can't be ignored. And then - in the blink of an eye - everything changes.
Activated alien DNA, long buried within each and every one of us, transforms the majority of the human race. Cities are abandoned. Civilisation discarded. Suddenly, we're not humans anymore, we're... Lonely No More.
Or most of us are...
For those still unactivated and 'lonely' it’s now about learning to survive in the ruins of an unwanted and terrifying world.
See, the apocalypse isn't coming, it's already here.

Francis Hellyer, CEO of Audiama, said: "Lonely No More is a bold new production and a thrilling debut for Audiama. With Sebastian Baczkiewicz's gripping sci-fi script, Jessica Dromgoole's expert direction and Jon Nicholls' immersive sound design, we've created an audio drama that pushes the boundaries of storytelling. I'm delighted we're publishing it with our friends at Big Finish, the perfect home to bring Lonely No More to audiences around the world."
Jason Haigh-Ellery, chairman of Big Finish Productions, added: "I am very excited about working with our friends at Audiama to release this groundbreaking new production - an exciting addition to our catalogue of sci-fi titles telling new stories that make audiences think about the world we live in today and how our lives could change..."
Writer Sebastian Baczkiewicz said: "The human race transforming from within from long-buried alien DNA is an idea I've had for some time. Happily, after glancing at manga backgrounds of deserted cityscapes and abandoned alleys bestrewn with telegraph poles, I began to populate those spaces with an entirely unprepared population unconscious of what lies within most of them.
"The production was a joy to make; the amazing cast and sound design and inspired direction were all I could have wished for and more. I'm blessed to see this bold and ambitious concept brought to life with such passion and dedication. I hope you enjoy it."
