BBC Pulls the Plug on Sitcom: A Tough Time for Comedy

10/16 @ 11:43pm by Morten Nielsen

The BBC has decided to cancel the sitcom 'Spent', a sign of the harsh realities facing comedy today

Created by Michelle de Swarte, the show debuted on BBC Two in July 2024, chronicling the life of Mia, who relocates to London after financial ruin in the States

Despite a promising concept, the series has been deemed uninspiring, leading to its swift demise after just one season

While some viewers expressed their disappointment online, others weren't shy about voicing their criticisms

This cancellation reflects a growing trend in the industry, as another BBC drama, 'Ten Pound Poms', also faced the axe recently.
