Michelle Keegan's Brassic ending after seventh series

Brassic is coming to an end with a final seventh season as the creators want to "stop while we are still riding high".

With a cast led by Michelle Keegan and Joseph 'Joe' Gilgun, the series follows a group of cash-strapped working-class friends living in the fictional village of Hawley. Gilgun, known for Preacher and Misfits, created the show with Shameless writer Danny Brocklehurst.

Brocklehurst said: "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.

"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."

Brassic won best comedy drama at the 2023 Royal Television Society (RTS) Awards

Since the first series began in 2019, it has been nominated for four TV Baftas with all nods for Gilgun for male performance in a comedy, and National Television Awards.

Former Coronation Street star Keegan plays Erin, a young woman whose troubled childhood leads to a wild teenage phase and an unplanned pregnancy, and Gilgun portrays Vincent 'Vinnie' O’Neill, the leader of a gang that causes mischief with hairbrained schemes.

Returning for the farewell series is Plebs star Ryan Sampson (Tommo), Keegan, Irish actor Aaron Heffernan (Ashley), Gangs Of London actor Parth Thakerar (JJ), Shameless actress Joanna Higson (Sugar), and Rev actor Steve Evets (Jim).

The final series will air later in 2025, and is promised to go out in "unforgettable Brassic style".
