Jessica Hynes comedy Up the Women will not return for a third series.
The BBC has confirmed that it has called time on the suffragette sitcom in order to work on new comedy projects, the Radio Times reports.
A BBC spokesperson commented: "After two great series, sadly there won't be any more Up the Women on BBC Two as the channel looks to bring new comedy shows through.
"Huge thanks to the incredibly talented Jessica Hynes, and all involved in the making of the show."
Vicki Pepperdine, Adrian Scarborough and Judy Parfitt also starred in the series, which was co-written by Hynes, Morwenna Banks and Barunka O'Shaughnessy.
Up the Women - which focused on activist Margaret (Hynes) - originally launched on BBC Four, before transferring to BBC Two for its second run.
