In the Flesh, Dominic Mitchell’s tale of life following a zombie apocalypse, will not be returning to BBC Three, it has now been confirmed.

An official statement from the channel stated that “BBC Three is very proud of the two award-winning series of In the Flesh. However, given there is only budget for one original drama series a year on the channel, it won’t be returning. We loved the show but have to make hard choices to bring new shows through and create room for emerging talent.

“Huge thanks to the BAFTA award-winning writer Dominic Mitchell and the superb cast.”

Mitchell tweeted, “Sad news today. I’d like to thank the BBC, the incredible cast & crew and the amazing fans for making and supporting #IntheFlesh”
