After The Flood will not be returning for a third series on ITV, it has been announced.
The programme was a mystery thriller set in a town hit by a devastating flood, and starred the likes of Sophie Rundle, Lorraine Ashbourne and Philip Glenister.
The first season, which was released in 2024, followed a police investigation after a man was found dead in a lift in an underground car park.
While the police assume he became trapped as the waters rose, PC Joanna Marshall (Rundle) becomes obsessed with discovering what happened.
Darker secrets were inevitably found, the consequences of which carried over into the second season, which was released early in 2026.
After the conclusion of the second season, no news was shared by ITV regarding plans for a new season.
However, it has now been confirmed that it won't be returning to our screens,
An ITV spokesperson shared: "We’re very proud of After The Flood and what the drama achieved across two series.
"Commissioning decisions involve many factors and while there are no plans for a third series, we're very grateful to everyone who supported the drama.
"We'd like to extend our thanks to Mick Ford, Azhur Saleem, the actors and the team at Quay Street Productions for producing two brilliant series."
