It is finally official there is no more Class.
The announcement was made by BBC Three Controller Damian Kavanagh:
“No, [we're not bringing it back]. There was nothing wrong with it – I thought Patrick [Ness] did a great job, he explored an amazing world.
In honesty, it just didn't really land for us on BBC Three. Things sometimes don't, and I've got to make decisions about what we're going to do from a drama point of view.
There are always times when you do something and you have to decide that it's not going to come back. Class is just one of those things.
Class was created to appeal to the young adult market and initially released in the UK on BBC Three, now an online only platform. It was hoped that high-quality original content would drive young viewers to the online station. However, the decision meant that Class was initially only seen by a fraction of the audience it would have received on a broadcast channel.”
