Michelle Keegan’s Brᴀssic has been axed after seven seasons of raucous fun.

Brᴀssic has gone on to have six successful series, and fans will be gutted to know that it won’t be returning after its seventh.  

Co-creator and writer Danny Brocklehurst: ‘When Joe Gilgun and I sat down to create Brᴀssic, we couldn’t have imagined, in our wildest dreams, that we would do seven series and gather such a loyal and loving fan base.

‘It’s been a complete joy to create this eccentric world, but all good things must come to an end, and we want to stop while we are still riding high. 

‘Maybe they can finally give us that BAFTA.’
