Half Bad: The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself (2022) – Based on a trilogy by Sally Green, the TV adaptation was cancelled after just one season.

Hapless (2020) – Star Tim Downie has spoken of possibilities for season 3, but we've yet to see any kind of official confirmation. 

Hard Cell (2022) – Not renewed.

Harry Wild – Season 3 is now on Acorn TV, and they just announced it's been renewed for season 4 and they're in production.

Heartstopper (2022) – A third season will be released on October 3rd on Netflix. No word on a fourth season yet.

Henpocalypse! (2023) – No word about a second season or a US streaming outlet as of August 2024.

Here We Go (2022) – Renewal for a third season was confirmed in spring 2024. It will have 7 half-hour episodes (6 + a Christmas special). No premiere dates yet, but we would expect to see the Christmas special…around Christmas.

Hijack (2023) – Renewal for season 2 was announced in January 2024. No word on premiere dates as of September 2024.

Holding (2022) – Based on Graham Norton's novel of the same name, we wouldn't be surprised if this remained a limited series. However – as a story of crime in a small Irish community full of strong characters, we could just as easily see ways it could be adapted for further episodes. We haven't seen any official renewal or cancellation, though. 

Hollington Drive (2021) – We haven't seen anything to suggest this was intended to be more than a limited series (but we also haven't seen an official cancellation).

Honour (2020) – As a two-part limited series based on a real case, there's nothing to suggest there would ever be more episodes.

Hope Street (2021) – Filming for season 4 began in spring 2024. No premiere dates yet.

Hotel Portofino (2022) – No word yet on season 4.

House of the Dragon – Season 3 begins filming in early 2025, season 4 will be the last.

Hullraisers (2022) – Though there's a second season that hasn't yet aired in the US, Channel 4 didn't renew it for a third season.

I Hate Suzie (2020) – Sky has stated there are no plans for a third season.

I Hate You (2022) – Channel 4 did not renew this flatshare comedy for a second season. It is not currently available on DVD, and it's not streaming in the US (as of late August 2024).

I May Destroy You (2020) – Creator Michaela Coel has stated that there will not be a second series.

Industry (2020) – Season 3 premiered this month in the US, no word on season 4.

The Inheritance (2023) – No word on a renewal. Though it seems like a closed storyline at the end of season 1, there's nothing to say they couldn't do a by-the-season anthology and pick up in season 2 with a story about a different family and inheritance. Still no word on a US outlet. 

Inside Man (2022) – Though Steven Moffat hinted at a possible season 2 during interviews in 2023, we haven't seen any production announcements or official details as of September 2024.

Insomnia (2024) – Based on Sarah Pinborough's 2022 novel, there's nothing to suggest this will be anything more than a limited series. Not yet streaming in the US as of September 2024.

Intelligence (2020) – We haven't been able to find any information about further seasons after the single episode special that's marked as “season 3”. The series has also been removed from Peacock as of September 2024, and while that doesn't necessarily mean anything, it could be a sign of poor performance or unwillingness to continue with the series.

Intergalactic (2021) – Cancelled after one season.

Intruder (2021) – Miniseries, not returning.

The Ipcress File (2022) – Based on Len Deighton's novel of the same name, there was initially a willingness on ITV's part to continue expanding on the original work. Unfortunately, it was cancelled after one season because cast members were too busy with other commitments.

The Irregulars (2021) – Cancelled after one season.

It's a Sin (2021) – Creator Russell T. Davies has said there won't be a second season because there simply isn't one. He said what he had to say and the story is done.

The Jetty (2024) – No word yet on a second season as of September 2024.

Joan (2024) – The first season will air on the CW in the US on October 2nd, 2024. In the UK, it will air on ITV/ITVx during the autumn season. No word on season 2 as of September 2024.

The Lazarus Project (2022) – In March 2024, it was announced there would be no season 3.

The Letter for the King (2020) – Though there's been no official cancellation or renewal as of September 2024, the lack of news doesn't bode well after four years.

Liaison (2023) – We haven't seen any information about a possible season season as of September 2024.

Lie with Me (2021) – We haven't seen any updates to suggest there might be a second season of this British-Australian production, and as of September 2024, we haven't seen any options for streaming it in the US.

The Lovers (2023) – As of September 2024, there haven't been any announcements about a second season. The ending gave closure while also providing a seed for future plotlines, so it could really go either way.
