Some shows get a proper finale. Others just… stop, with no warning and no goodbye. If one of your favourites recently went quiet, here's what happened — and where to go next.
Every series here is complete and still streaming — nothing has been pulled, there's just no more coming. Where to stream each one is noted below.
James Nesbitt's tense Belfast thriller wrapped its second series with Tom Brannick's secret finally catching up with him — and it turned out to be the show's real ending. A third series was hoped for, but the BBC confirmed there are no plans to bring it back.
Nicola Walker's witty, fourth-wall-breaking marine detective was one of the more purely charming leads in recent British TV — sharp, funny, and quietly moving. UKTV confirmed there are no plans for a third series, so two seasons is the whole story.
Kerry Godliman's seaside restaurant-owner-turned-detective ran for three warm, gentle series before Acorn TV quietly moved on from the show, leaving Pearl and DCI Mike McGuire's will-they-won't-they right where it stood.
Four series of an odd-couple pairing that really worked — the streetwise DCI Lauren McDonald and the endearingly overlooked DS Dodds, solving crimes around Bath. ITV confirmed there's no series five planned, so series four is where it ends.
