2014-03-29_0036UK comedy Hebburn has been axed by BBC Two, after two seasons and a Christmas Special.

Stand-up comedian Jason Cook fronted the comedy, which follows recently-wedded couple Jack and Sarah alongside Jack’s family, the Pearsons.

“Just so everyone knows, the BBC will not be renewing Hebburn for a third series. We’ve had such a great time making series 1 and 2 and I’d like to thank the BBC for allowing us to do this. The team that made Hebburn were so committed to it and those both in front of and behind the camera were what made Hebburn so special,” said Cook.

“It was such an honour to be able to put my little hometown on TV and to show the country and little bit of tyneside with some of the best actors I could ever have dreamed of. The response from fans all over the world has been overwhelming with Hebburn being shown in Australia, Canada, America and all over Europe. But now we have to move on to new projects and I’m looking forward to doing more stuff with the “Hebburn” team as soon as possible!”

The show aired in Australia on the ABC.

  1. I stumbled across an episode on ABC2 ?? a month or so ago. Wasn’t that S2?

    Personally I never saw the point of it. The first episode was base solely at laughing at Gina McKee’s working class accent and her insulting Jews. I couldn’t see why McKee or Nixon signed up for it.
