Comedian David Mitchell says the BBC has axed the sitcom Upstart Crow after three series. Mitchell made the comments publicly, indicating the show will not return under current plans.
He also says the BBC had been considering bringing the program back for a Christmas special. However, that idea has now been shelved, according to Mitchell’s account. The outlets reporting the story present his remarks as the primary source of the decision, with no additional details about the reasons for the cancellation beyond the change in plans for a special episode.
Overall, both reports align that the show ends after three series and that a potential festive installment is no longer moving forward, while offering limited further context on the decision-making process.
