The series follows the trainee Abbe, the producer Micke B and a group of C-level celebrities of Swedish reality shows as they try to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. The series mixed real actors with reality-TV stars playing themselves. The series was noted for its convincing zombie makeup.
The Last Reality Show provides examples of:
- Book Ends: Daniel Paris is the first of the celebrities to appear in the show. He is also the one to die last.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Micke B is reading a newspaper article about a TV show. The article he is reading is a deregatory article about The Last Reality Show, published when the newspaper was not allowed first-hand rights to publish a story about the show.
- Brick Joke:
- In the first episode, the nasty producer, Micke B, yells at a fairly minor character to re-edit a vignette. In the last episode, that character, now a zombie, is still sitting and editing on the computer.
- Creator Cameo: The creator of the show is playing a young man puking blood, the man responsible for the special effects plays a zombie eating a cow, and a casting trainee plays one of the first zombies seen in the show.
