Although it has been tacitly understood for some time that Class would not be returning, BBC Three has confirmed that the Doctor Who spin-off is no more.

“There was nothing wrong with it,” BBC Three controller Damian Kavanaugh said at an industry event on September 7. “I thought Patrick [Ness] did a great job, he explored an amazing world. In honesty it didn’t really land for us on BBC Three; some shows don’t and I have to make decisions about what we’re going to do from a drama point of view, and what we did after Class was Clique which worked really well for us.”

“What a great experience to make it. And SUCH a great cast. And thank you for all the love for it, too! Would that things were different…” Ness added.
