Channel 4 Axes 'Entertaining' Comedy After Just 1 Series Despite BAFTA Nomination
Rosie Jones said the six-part series will not return as Channel 4 cited routine programming reviews after a 4.6 IMDb rating from 301 reviews.
- Channel 4 has cancelled the British sitcom Pushers after one series, despite critical acclaim and a BAFTA nomination for star and co-creator Rosie Jones.
- Created by Jones and Peter Fellows, the series broke ground by featuring a majority-disabled cast and following a woman with cerebral palsy who resorts to dealing drugs after her benefits are cut.
- The Independent hailed Pushers as a "madcap triumph," praising its "clever observational comedy that skewers attitudes to disability" after it aired in June last year.
- Jones announced on Instagram, "Pushers is not coming back for a second series," while Channel 4 stated they regularly make "difficult decisions on which shows to rest, return or conclude."
- Aimee Lou Wood's BBC comedy Film Club will also not be returning, with the decision reported on Monday as mutual, signalling a broader industry trend of cancellations.
