Brassic will be returning for one final season later this year.
The seventh season is set to wrap up “iconic story in unforgettable Brassic style’”, with the synopsis explaining: “This momentous return marks the last chapter for the unruly gang, who are promising to go out with a bang and with even more of the madness and mayhem that fans have cherished over the years.
“The stories of this boisterous group will come to an end after an incredible seven series, since the show launched with huge success in 2019 and became a fan favourite.”
Cast members confirmed to be returning for the final outing include Joe Gilgun, Ryan Sampson, Michelle Keegan, Aaron Heffernan, Parth Thakerar, Joanna Higson and Steve Evets.
Danny Brocklehurst, Brassic’s co-creator and writer, said in a statement: ”When Joe Gilgun and I sat down to create Brassic, we couldn’t have imagined, in our wildest dreams, that we would do seven series and gather such a loyal and loving fan base.
“It’s been a complete joy to create this eccentric world, but all good things must come to an end, and we want to stop while we are still riding high. Maybe they can finally give us that BAFTA!”
Meanwhile, a Sky spokesperson added: “Since Brassic arrived on our screens in 2019, it has become Sky’s most successful comedy ever.
“Fans very quickly became attached to this dynamic group of friends, as they found unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia.
“We would like to thank Joe Gilgun, Danny Brocklehurst and the whole cast and crew – past and present – for bringing us all a truly iconic series, which we’ve loved for its special mix of hilarity and heart.”
In a review of season 2 of Brassic, which aired in the UK’s first coronavirus-enforced lockdown in 2020, NME called the show “an essential lockdown binge-watch,” adding: “Like any ensemble comedy-drama worth its salt, Brassic centers on a gang of characters you’ll kind of want to join.”
