Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is closed for good. Executive producer Arvind Ethan David recently confirmed the cancelled BBC America TV show will remain cancelled, Deadline reports.
Loosely based on the Douglas Adams novels, the sci-fi comedy centers on Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett), an eccentric time-traveling “holistic detective” and his reluctant sidekick, washed up rocker Todd Brotzman (Elijah Wood). The cast also includes Jade Eshete, Hannah Marks, Mpho Koaho, Fiona Dourif, Dustin Milligan, and John Hannah.
On Twitter, David thanked fans of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency for their efforts to save the BBC America series. However, he announced the show will remain cancelled:

What do you think? Are you a fan of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency? Are you sad it’s been cancelled?
I’m heartbroken, I keep looking for different articles hoping they are going to change the decision. Such a fun and mind twisting show, with fantastic acting, and great production. Each character has something that draws you in and I looked so forward to following them. What a shame.
That is really too bad as this show was brilliant!!!
I loved the show. I’m very sadto see it go.
I’m so, so super bummed out that there isn’t going to be another season!!! I used to get so excited every week for the new episodes. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen on television- right up there with X-files.
Very disappointed.
I had no idea they were cancelling it. I really enjoyed season 2. The show apparently didn’t have enough trash in it for the bbc. What a shame.
