Axed: The Coroner

Seaside crime drama The Coroner has been axed by the BBC.

The series, which airs as a daytime drama in the UK, screens in Australia on ABC.

BBC said in a statement, “After two fantastic series, The Coroner won’t be returning as we look for opportunities to bring through new programmes for the BBC1 daytime audience. We’d like to thank the brilliant cast and production team for all of their hard work.”

The series stars Claire Goose as single mum Jane Kennedy who returns to her hometown of Lighthaven in south Devon to investigate murders alongside former childhood sweetheart Detective Sergeant Davey Higgins (Matt Bardock).

ABC is yet to screen the second season.
