New Tricks cancelled after Series 12.
The BBC is bringing the long-running crime-comedy to an end after its forthcoming 12th series.
BBC One controller Charlotte Moore and drama controller Ben Stephenson said, via joint statement:
“We are incredibly proud of New Tricks and would like to thank Roy Mitchell the brilliant creator, Wall to Wall and Headstrong, and all the cast and teams involved across the 12 series.
However, on BBC One, it’s important to make room for new series and continue to increase the range of drama on the channel, so it won’t be returning after the next series airs this summer.”
The 12th and now final series of New Tricks will air summer 2015 on BBC One.
RIP.

this is a great series – i am SOOOOO sad it’s ending.
RICHARD ASHTON says
The BBC should be ashamed of themselves . Yet again, quality British shows are lost and replaced by shows that have no plot, no comedy and no drama. A disgraceful decision.
In addition, the statement marking the show’s demise must have been concocted by a mindless public servant. What a lot of manby panby , patronising codswallop.
That said, very best wishes to all the main titled actors (male and female) who given me so much enjoyment over the 12 series of this brilliant show. I will miss it dreadfully.
Jill Wearing says
I agree with Richard Ashton. It is a one off format – why be like so many other poor shows when you can have a first class original.

Although I ADORE DENIS WATERMAN and The Scotsman, the show ended for me when Alum Armstrong (Brian) left.
This along with Dalziel & Pascoe are my ALL TIME 2 Favourite UK Crime Series. I love lots, but these 2 were UNIQUE and I know by heart.

It is too bad that New Tricks is cancelled. It was so enjoyable. I wonder who makes these decisions. I would guess it is for some other story with no great acting or substance as most of the other shows are. Eventually it will probably be no point in watching TV
Deborah Burbank says
What a disappointment to hear that New Tricks is cancelled. I loved the show and want it back! All the cast members were great and the combination of drama, mystery & humor was something you don’t find often enough.

John Elsegood says
We have enjoyed this series and all of the actors. It is unfortunate that the BBC doesn’t listen to public. They make so many bad decisions taking off good shows to be replaced by unwatchable crud.
Maybe some day the light bulb will go on and they will resurrect this and other good watchable entertaining shows.

I live in America and discovered New Tricks on Hulu. It is one of my all time favorite series. I am so sorry to hear that it is being cancelled. I wonder if enough people rallied if BBC would reconsider!?

I watched the finale of New Tricks last night and I was disheartened. But they sort of left in on a high. I wondered if they would consider a movie or spin offs?

I am 64 and I started watching TRICKS on hulu. Omg I love it. My 15 yr old grandaughter loves watching it with me. We just got into the 12th season and am a little disheartening that it’s almost over. Soon there won’t be any shows worth watching on tv.
