BBC Two has cancelled its Robot Wars revival after three series (ten overall), the official Twitter account for the show has confirmed.
Sad to confirm the BBC’s decision to de-activate our House Robots. A huge thank you to Dara & Angela, our brilliant judges Noel, Lucy & Sethu, all of the amazing teams and most of all…you for joining us on this amazing robot smashing adventure.

In response, the BBC said it was “proud” of Robot Wars and offered its usual stock answer in explaining that the decision to cancel was to “make room for new shows”:
We are very proud of #RobotWars and would like to thank @MentornMedia, the presenters @DaraOBriain and @AngelaScanlon, and all those involved in the last three series. However, in order to create room for new shows it won’t be returning to BBC Two.
RIP.
