The Last Post will last no longer. According to RadioTimes, the BBC has cancelled the TV show after only one season.
The UK drama, which aired on Amazon in the U.S., revolves around the officers of a Royal Military Police unit and their families in 1960s Yemen. The cast includes Ben Miles, Jeremy Neumark Jones, Stephen Campbell Moore, Jessie Buckley, Amanda Drew, Jessica Raine, Essie Davis, Tom Glynn-Carney, and Louis Greatorex.
While the BBC did not give a reason for cancelling The Last Post, they did release a statement thanking the cast and crew:
The Last Post was a fantastic series but we can confirm it won’t be returning. We are looking to bring new ideas to BBC1 and tell new stories. We’d like to thank Peter, the brilliant cast and production team for all their hard work on the series.”
What do you think? Have you seen The Last Post? Are you sad it won’t continue?
So disappointed. We love this show!
gutted!
Now I’m pissed. I love this series and feel like the rug got pulled from under me just as I was invested in the characters. The Last Post was quality programming.
I always find the excuse “making room for new shows” a poor one, not least since BBC have produced what, a million episodes of Dr Who? Just be honest, and say that you didn’t get as many viewers as you’d hoped for, or that the show didn’t have enough impact in social medias.
We’d enjoyed The Last Post very much. It brought us back to the past.We enjoyed also the across and their acting.Fantastic. We hope that the producers will consider a season 2
An excellent period piece of which there are few tv programs or movies. Well done, well acted and should return.
Just bought , then watched The Last Post. Are the Brits trying to hide history they did not like shown on tv? So sad no season 2.
The Post was such a great show! So sad that it has been canceled.
Oh Noooooooo!!! We are addicted to the Last Post. It must come back. Soooooo good!!!
What do I think? I think they’re idiots. This was one of the best things on television. Fully detailed characters, period-based drama with relevance to today, political intrigue, sex and humor. And poor Armstrong will be forever lost in the desert.
Very disappointed that there will not be a season 2 of The Last Post so many shows that stink are kept, and this one which we so enjoyed is cancelled. How sad, great acting, great story very interesting and kept us on the edge of our seats. Makes you wonder what BBC is thinking what they have something good and then walk away from it. Makes me very unhappy
Wrong, wrong to cancel such a well done show. We were so involved in the lives of the post. Great history lessons, teriffic acting, very interesting. Sorry to see it go. Please reconsider!
This was a season worth rewatching. The acting was well done and for a series retelling what life was like during WWII, it did a beautiful job portraying it through the painful eyes of soldiers as family men as their wives watched on helpless at times. Something we don’t always see on the screen. It’s a shame it’s cancelled and other reality nonsense gets renewed.
It takes place in 1965/1966 not WW2
Too bad. Terrible place to leave it. Should continue.
I am sad.
I too am sad. Interesting story and well acted. It was a binger
Perhaps the Brits don’t like seeing their government presented in a negative light? I am so disappointed that The Last Post was cancelled! Much better than most of the sci fi drivel on Netflix and Amazon these days. Please reconsider.
