The BBC has announced that they’re axing Robin Hood in light of several cast departures and a reduction in viewing figures.

According to the Press Association, the show, which averaged between four and five million viewers during its third and final series, pulled in about 1.7 million viewers for its final show, the BBC said.

It suffered the slump after being moved to BBC2 from its normal slot on BBC1 to make way for live coverage of Andy Murray at Wimbledon.

Also, several cast members have left the show recently including Jonas Armstrong and Richard Armitage and Keith Allen has said that he doesn’t want to be a part of any new series that may have been commissioned.

A BBC spokesperson said of the decision to axe the show, “Viewers have enjoyed three fantastic series of Robin Hood but with the death of Robin in last week’s finale, we feel that the show has reached its natural conclusion.”
