Well, that was brief indeed. Radio Times reports ITV has cancelled the UK TV series Brief Encounters after only one season.
Created by Oriane Messina and Fay Rusling, the 1980s-set drama “charted the early years of retail company Ann Summers through the prism of four women who find fulfilment from selling lingerie and sex toys to customers within the privacy of their own homes.” The cast included Penelope Wilton, Sharon Rooney, Angela Griffin, Sophie Rundle, and Chloe Pirrie.
Co-creator Messian confirmed the cancellation on her Twitter:

What do you think? Have you seen Brief Encounters? Are you sad it’s been cancelled?
I can’t believe you are canceling this excellent show. Most of the actors I am familiar with especially the women. Great plot. Characters. I want to know more and where their lives will bring them, good or bad. I can’t say enough. I am in awe that the show is even considered not to be worth more seasons. Bad decision to end.
I’m French, with British family… I miss England and I felt « at home » with this series… the humour, the accents… It was so refreshing , I can’t understand how it is not continued!!! And my friends agree!!
It was the best series we have seen for sometime….loved it so much….so so sad no series 2…pleass someone else pick it up…please

Please bring it back for a second season.

We love this show. Please bring it back!
Just watched it on Aussie TV, Foxtel. Loved it. So disappointed there’s not going to be another season.
