ITV confirmed the news of Out There's cancellation, telling the newspaper: "We are really proud of Out There and would like to thank Martin and the production team for delivering a brilliant series.
"We do always hope to see our series return and we are sorry we didn’t get this drama to connect with a big enough audience to see that happen."
In our review Digital Spy gave Out There three stars, praising the performances of both Clunes and Serkis.
Clunes will next be seen in upcoming comedy-drama Mother's Pride alongside The Inbetweeners' James Buckley.
The film will tell the story of "a failing pub, a divided community and a grieving family whose lives are changed by brewing real ale and entering the Great British Beer Awards."
Meanwhile, over two years since Clunes bowed out from Doc Martin, the beloved British series is getting a US remake.
Earlier this month Deadline reported that Fox has given a full series order to Best Medicine, which is described as "based on" the ITV comedy-drama.
The Good Wife's Josh Charles will play the renamed Doctor Martin Best who leaves behind a successful career in Boston to work as a GP in a small village on the East Coast.
Out There aired on ITV.
