Timothy Spall's drama Hatton Garden is leaving Netflix after successfully trending on the streaming service.

The four-episode series originally debuted on ITV back in 2019, and follows the true story of the 2015 Hatton Garden robbery in London's diamond district by a group of elderly crooks.

The career criminals are thought to have got away with as much as £200m worth of diamonds, and an ongoing court case actually delayed the creation of the show.

Five years after broadcast, it was added to Netflix in May of last year, and did quite well, hitting the top five most-watched shows in the UK.

Critics enjoyed it too, as the show has an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from seven reviews. Writers at the time said the "suspense was superbly maintained" and the cast was "supreme".

At the time of the show's original release, writer Jeff Pope spoke about the difficulties facing the series due to the court case involving the real criminals.

"They had to pull it, very late in the day," Pope told Digital Spy at the time. "It was a completely unconnected case, but we ran the risk of prejudicing it.

"You're caught in a trap, desperately trying to find a way out. You're thinking, 'Can we re-cut it?' But whichever way we turned, we were trapped, because the case involved Terry Perkins... and he's in almost every scene, so you can't cut him out!"

Hatton Court is still available on Netflix for now, and can also be streamed on ITVX.
