Mistresses will not return for a fourth series, it has been confirmed.
The romantic drama, which starred Sarah Parish, concluded its third series on Thursday night. Prior to filming, the BBC had announced that it would not be renewed but the show's executives have since rallied fans to appeal for a new run.
Speaking to Digital Spy at the Edinburgh TV Festival today, BBC One controller Jay Hunt said: "After the series before last, I was in two minds about whether to bring it back, but I decided ultimately when I saw the scripts, that there was the making of a final four-parter."
She added: "In my mind, that is the end of Mistresses, I know fans are going to miss it but I feel it's a fitting end to a great, watchable piece of telly."
