E4 has cancelled Chewing Gum after two seasons/series. The comedy-drama has fallen off the bubble and will not return for Series 3.
Speaking to Broadcast, creator Michaela Coel claimed she decided to cancel the series, having ‘reached a creative peak’ at the end of the second series.
Channel 4 comedy head Fiona McDermott said of Coel’s apparent decision:
“She’s a very funny and clever writer so she’ll always have a home here if she wants to do a project with us.
It’s bittersweet but it’s always been part of what we do here. We establish people and then there’s a point where they have to move on.”
RIP.
