While ITV might be churning out brilliant dramas in the shape of Believe Me and The Family Next Door, they're also not afraid of cancelling fan-favourites if they're not doing well.
So, sorry to anyone who was hoping for more episodes of Piglets, the police sitcom which aired for two seasons, as the terrestrial channel have confirmed it won't be coming back for more.
Described as a "riotous police comedy" about an underwhelming group of police officers in training, Piglets aired its second and seemingly last season in January, after the first season landed in July 2024.
According to a source at The Sun, "There was great hope for Piglets when it was first released and even though the response to the debut series was mixed, bosses believed it deserved a follow-up. But unfortunately, the second series didn’t set the world alight — which made it even harder for ITV to give it another chance.”
An ITV spokesman added: “There are currently no plans for a third series of Piglets.
"We would like to thank all the cast and crew for their hard work in bringing these unforgettable characters and stories alive on screen.Viewers can watch the adventures from series one and two by streaming all episodes on ITVX."
Fans of the show were gutted to hear the news, with one sharing that they "cannot believe it", adding, "Cannot believe #Piglets has been cancelled. Lots of snowflakes and Executives don't seem to have a funny bone these days! No doubt the usual crap will be recommissioned. Devastated."
At least we've got seasons one and two!
