BBC One has cancelled Cuffs after one series, there will not be a Series 2.
News of Cuffs‘ cancellation was confirmed by co-star Eleanor Matsuura, who is none too happy with the BBC’s decision not to recommission the police drama for Series 2:
“When y’all thought Series 1 was amazing but you have to break the news there’s no Series 2 #Cuffs”
“When they recommission some total balls but your show get cancelled… #Cuffs“

As for why Cuffs has been cancelled, it boils down to the ratings, which the BBC decided weren’t quite good enough to continue the show into a second series.
RIP.

No recommissioning Cuffs is yet another of auntie’s silly decisions. Any one give any reasons? No – but let us hope C4 picks it up. A great gritty police series with everything going for it – cast, production, story lines all good. Shame on you beeb!
DiCF says
I so enjoyed Cuffs! TV needs a police programme like that. The characters were superb. Loved the filming around Brighton 🙂 – story lines were great, character interaction ….. I could go on. BBC are crazy not to renew. In fact I would love Cuffs to become a twice nightly soap say!! I really did enjoy it.
Andrea says
Fabulous show, great cast & great approach……so why exactly is it being cancelled? Making a BIG mistake beeb, just hope another channel sees the error of your ways. Campaign anyone
Tracy says
Can not believe there is no series 2. This was a fantastic gritty drama that Terrestrial Tv is missing. Shame on the BBC
Dan Ayres says
Unbelievable decision by the bbc,so much rubbish is renewed,yet here we have a good family show cancelled.
Graham Kenward says
Amazed there’s not going to be a second series. Great cast with really gritty and dramatic action. Regarding the ratings that are said to have dropped towards the end, has anyone consider the final episodes were close to Christmas when people are out and about and not at home watching tv. As others have commented, hopefully another channel will pick it up. The BBC never cease to amaze!
