Utopia will not be renewed for a third series on Channel 4, the broadcaster has confirmed.
Created and written by BAFTA nominee Dennis Kelly, the critically-acclaimed series featured actors including Geraldine James, Ian McDiarmid, Fiona O'Shaughnessy, Stephen Rea, Alexandra Roach and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett.
"Utopia is truly channel-defining: strikingly original, powered by Dennis Kelly's extraordinary voice and brought to life in all its technicolor glory through Marc Munden's undeniable creative flair and vision," a spokesperson for Channel 4 told Den of Geek.
"The team at Kudos delivered a series which has achieved fervent cult status over two brilliantly warped and nail-biting series. It also has the honour of ensuring audiences will never look at a spoon in the same way again.
"It's always painful to say goodbye to shows we love, but it's a necessary part of being able to commission new drama, a raft of which are launching on the channel throughout 2015."
Channel 4 and AMC recently announced a joint commission of a new sci-fi show titled Humans, while David Fincher is behind a US remake of Utopia which is expected to premiere on HBO in 2015.
