BBC series Wreck will not return despite a strong critical response.
The show, which stars Unforgotten's Jodie Tyack, debuted on BBC Three back in 2022, with the second season airing just under a year ago.
However, creator Ryan J Brown has confirmed that the show won't be returning for a third season, saying the broadcaster "buried it".

Responding to a fan asking whether there were plans for a new season, he wrote on X/Twitter: "Sadly not. Sorry! The BBC buried it but never say never…".
Back in September, Brown shared on social media that the show was coming to an end, confirming there was "no final series of Wreck".

Wreck follows a young man named Jamie (Oscar Kennedy) as he takes a job on a cruise ship to uncover the truth about his sister's disappearance.
The show attracted a positive audience score on Rotten Tomatoes of 95% fresh, though proved more mixed with critics, standing at 69%.
The series received particular praise for its LGBTQ+ representation, with star James Phoon previously opening up to DS about its importance.
"In this show, we have so many queer characters that are so beyond just their label – because there's so many of us, and that goes with race and gender identity and all of those categories. They're fully-formed humans that are sort of hitting every point," he said.
Wreck aired on BBC Three and is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
