Default McMafia is 'AXED' by BBC due to the Russian War

['It wouldn't be a good look!'
McMafia is 'AXED' as BBC decides crime drama
about 'dodgy Russian family' would be '
awkward amid the Ukraine crisis'
The gangster drama, which was lauded
by critics and drew in audiences of
nearly 10 million during its 2018 debut,
will allegedly not return for a second series
Production had been delayed by
the coronavirus pandemic,
but the invasion of Ukraine has
reportedly acted as the nail in the coffin
Starring man James Norton,
who has seen his star rise as a
result of the show, has also been
increasingly 'hard to pin down' in
time for filming
At the time of McMafia's airing,
the Russian embassy even hit out
at the BBC for propagating
negative 'cliches' of its citizens
in the hit series
The eight-part series, which first aired
Christmas Day, portrayed a world where
Russians move in a world rife with
criminal activity - but the embassy moved
quickly to point out the difference
between fact and fiction]
