Finished watching Jekyll and Hyde S1. I wish they would do seasons 2. 😕 I enjoyed the TV show. Hopefully, Netflix would pick it up and resume S2?
ITV’s 2015 Jekyll and Hyde was axed after one season due to
- its 6:30 PM slot.
- Gritty violence sparked 800+ Ofcom complaints, ruling it unfit for kids.
- Ratings crashed from 4.3M to 1.8M.
What we missed: Creator Charlie Higson had Season 2 written! Robert was set to find his father in Sri Lanka and join the MIO. Instead, the cliffhanger stands: after the finale’s chaos, Higson joked, “They’re all dead!” A cult classic cut short by bad timing.
