There won’t be a third season of =In the Flesh. The drama, which aired on BBC America here in the States, has been cancelled after two seasons and just nine episodes. The last episode aired in June 2014.
The reason for the cancellation? Economics. Here’s the official statement from BBC Three in the UK:
BBC Three is very proud of the two award-winning series of In the Flesh. However, given there is only budget for one original drama series a year on the channel it won’t be returning.
We loved the show but have to make hard choices to bring new shows through and create room for emerging talent. Huge thanks to the BAFTA award-winning writer Dominic Mitchell and the superb cast.
Mitchell responded to the news on Twitter and wrote, “Sad news today. I’d like to thank the BBC, the incredible cast & crew and the amazing fans for making & supporting #InTheFlesh”
What do you think? Did you like In the Flesh? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
********!! we invested our time into your series to never know wtf happens >:( hate you BBC!
please renew!!!
What a sad state of affairs. One of the best series of the latest years, I only wish that decision is abandonned, rather than the show. 🙁
REALLY?!?! LOVE this show! Why are all the good ones taken from us? Such an original take on the whole zombie apocalypse genre. Please bring it back!!!!!
WHY!!!!The show was amazing. I have never seen a show quite like it. Please make more!
It’s shouldn’t be cancelled. I loved it so much, because it was so different than the Walking Dead. I loved the story, I could feel with the characters. But they left so many questions unanswered. I’m so sad, I wanted to see Kieren on the screen for long time, but looks like I have to acquiesce, that he wont be able to continue this amazing series.
Loved watching this show. Cancelling it was the worst idea I have ever heard, especially where it ended. If you cancel a show you should at least not leave Clift hangers. I really wish there was more to watch
The best shows seem to get cancelled! I really enjoyed the show.
A great show! Done as only the Brits can do it…
Terrible idea to cancel the show, especially with so many questions unanswered…
The worst part, you just know, somewhere down the track, a certain nations tvland will try to remake it…
Make a hash of it…
Either boring us to death or by making it so gory that we just go “Blah”
the show should not be canceled. It is an amazing show.
I’m from Brazil and I loooooove the serie, MUST continue…
I really wished they’d continue the show. My friend and I were obsessed and we were dying to know what happened after the last episode. Maybe one day, they’ll start the show back up. One can only dream. 🙂
It’s the first of it’s kind and should not be cancelled!
Show was incredible! Seasons were short, which sucked, but the show is far better than anything I personally have ever seen come out of the bbc!
Why should such wonderful shows be canceled? One of the best series in 2014.
Agree!!
