DCI Banks TV Series Cancelled After Five Seasons on ITV
Here is more, from Radio Times:
The broadcaster said that the fifth series, which aired earlier this year, will be its last.
“After five series, ITV has taken the decision not to recommission DCI Banks. We’re grateful to the production team at Left Bank Pictures for creating the world of DCI Banks and the actors Stephen Tompkinson, Andrea Lowe and Caroline Catz for the commitment and dedication they’ve shown to their roles.”
What do you think? Are you DCI Banks fan? Should ITV have cancelled or renewed it for a sixth season?
Please do not cancel.
Renew it!!! I’m so addicted…have watched all 5 seasons in a matter of 3 weeks. It’s gotten me through the quarantine!!!
It was a great show! I watched all 5 seasons in a single week. Please order more at some point!
Please renew another season of dci banks
I thought DCI Banks was a great show and I feel it should not have been canceled
Is there going to be a season 6 of DCI Banks? Why do the good shows always ends?
Disappointed
We became involved with the series (here in the U.S.) the characters. I suspect they killed Annie off when season 6 was not renewed. It was one of the best of the police procedurals. Since Annie is gone, it couldn’t be rebooted – and that’s a shame.
We would have kept watching. I’m sorry that it was cancelled. Great acting.
I’ve really enjoyed the series and was dismayed to find out that series 5 was the end!
No I think they should continue to a season 6. Give all the players/actors a shot at making the team do more crime stories. I love the actors and the show. I say “the show must go on”
I’d been enjoying this on Amazon Prime. Broke my heart when they killed off my absolute favorite character in Season 5, so I wasn’t interested in watching any further episodes after that anyway.
I think it should be on for at least 50 more series, I love the show and just found it about 2 weeks ago and I have watched it for hours and hours every night. sorry to see it go.
Very very disappointing. Finally a great entertaining program and just like every Good program that unexpectedly ends, usually because of money, they have to screw it all up.
I am very disappointed. I enjoyed this series very much and will miss seeing more episodes.
