We're grateful for the wonderful British TV legacy she left behind and we wish all the best for her family and friends.

The Sister (2020) – Designed as a limited series, there was certainly room for a second season – but cast member Amrita Acharia was interviewed around the original air date and said that while she would love to be part of a second season, there was nothing in the works.

Suspicion (2022) – Based on the Israeli TV series False Flag (which has 2 seasons), this series was cancelled after one season.

The Tourist (2022) – Originally intended to be a miniseries, this is another one of those rare shows where they decided to go ahead and make a second season. There's been no official word on a season 3 as of September 2024, but star Jamie Dornan has mentioned his schedule is pretty tight for the next few years, so that could limit their ability to film another season.
The Tower (2021) – Though it hasn't officially been renewed for season 4 (as of September 2024), writer Patrick Harbinson has revealed he's already working on material for a fourth season. The series is based on Kate London's book series.

Truth Seekers (2020) – Sadly, it was cancelled after one season.

Van der Valk – Season 4 has premiered in the UK and will premiere on PBS on September 15th. No word on season 5.
Vera – Season 14 filmed in summer 2024. Two 120-minute episodes will bring Brenda Blethyn's time as Vera to a close. At 78, she has certainly earned her retirement – but there have been unconfirmed rumours of a possible spinoff or continuation without her. An 11th Vera novel, The Dark Wives, is available for pre-order ahead of its August 27th US release date.
A Very British Scandal (2021) – Miniseries, not expected to return – but it's a loose follow-up to A Very English Scandal (2018), and A Very Royal Scandal (2024) came after it (premiere date: September 19th, 2024).
