Channel 4 axe comedy series starring Sex Education star after just one season

Sex Education star Tanya Reynolds, who is best known as Lily in the Netflix smash hit series, has seen her Channel 4 series I Hate You cancelled.

The series, which aired last year, follows Tanya and Melissa Saint star as two best mates who love to hate each other.

Rebecca 'Becca' Douglas, played by Melissa, and Charlotte 'Charlie' Phillips, played by Tanya, navigate life in their late 20s as they rely on each other to get through the ups and downs of working in a job you dislike, their complicated love lives and trying to make rent.

I Hate You was the latest sitcom from the creator of Friday Night Dinner, Robert Popper and was directed by The Inbetweeners writer and executive producer Damon Beesley.

The comedy series was released at the end of September 2022 on the broadcaster's streaming service, All 4.

It was launched as part of a trial that saw the entire series released online a fortnight before the first episodes aired on Channel 4 in mid-October.

Channel 4 and co-production company Big Talk confirmed simply: "There are currently no plans for a second series."

The series received mixed reviews when it first aired with The Guardian claiming the plot "meandered and didn't know where it was going" and IMDb rating it 5.6/10.

The Telegraph wrote: "Creator Popper and his two talented leads are far better than this disappointing mess," while Metro.co.uk said: "Reynolds and Saint fire off Popper’s trademark bonkers dialogue with wit and precision while maintaining a warm, natural chemistry."

The news comes after the broadcaster commissioned another sitcom, Big Mood which focusses on 20-something female friendships.

I Hate You is available to watch on All 4.
