The series also stars Michelle Keegan as Erin Croft, Damien Molony as Dylan Golding and Tom Hanson as Leslie ‘Cardi’ Titt.

‘When Joe Gilgun and I sat down to create Brassic, we couldn’t have imagined, in our wildest dreams, that we would do seven series and gather such a loyal and loving fan base,’ Danny said. ‘It’s been a complete joy to create this eccentric world, but all good things must come to an end, and we want to stop while we are still riding high. Maybe they can finally give us that BAFTA,’ he added.
The show has not been axed by Sky, with the broadcaster pointing to the achievements of Brassic as it’s most successful comedy ever. ‘Fans very quickly became attached to this dynamic group of friends, as they found unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia,’ a spokesperson also said.
