'Extraordinary,' 'Shardlake' not renewed at Disney+ (variety.com)

Disney+ U.K. originals “Extraordinary” and “Shardlake” will not be returning to the streamer for further seasons, Variety has learned.

Edgy comedy “Extraordinary,” which stars Máiréad Tyers and Sofia Oxenham as a pair of chaotic flatmates living in a world of superpowers, had already aired two seasons, with Season 2 ending on a cliffhanger as Jen falls into a void. It will not return for a third.

“Shardlake,” a four-part historical mystery series set in Tudor times starred Arthur Hughes, Sean Bean and Anthony Boyle, launched its first season last summer. It will not return for a second.

...

Despite the disappointing news, Disney+ is continuing to invest in U.K. originals, with a second season of its hit Jilly Cooper adaptation “Rivals” already underway. Other projects in the works include “A Thousand Blows,” which launches next month, documentaries about cricketer Freddie Flintoff and tragic “Love Island” host Caroline Flack and a scripted series about the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes.

Shame. I liked Shardlake.

But I’d read several of the books so was well disposed to it, maybe it just wasn’t popular enough.

That makes it all OK.
