Martin Clunes\u2019 ITV drama Out There won’t be getting a second series after its debut failed to get the ratings needed, according to reports. The drama aired earlier this year with Martin playing a father trying to protect his son after he got involved in a network of drug dealers working across county lines. The six-part series explored the issue of urban drug gangs operating in rural areas.<\/p>\n
Martin played Welsh farmer Nathan Williams, who got sucked into a criminal underworld. They targeted Nathan\u2019s son Johnny, played by Louis Ashbourne Serkis, who is the real-life son of actors Andy Serkis and Lorraine Ashbourne.<\/p>\n
Martin told The Sun: \u201cWe were keen on doing a second series but ITV aren\u2019t, it seems. It didn\u2019t quite pull the numbers they wanted, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n
ITV told the publication: \u201cWe are really proud of Out There and would like to thank Martin and the production team for delivering a brilliant series.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do always hope to see our series return and we are sorry we didn\u2019t get this drama to connect with a big enough audience to see that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Out There was produced by Buffalo Pictures – the same production comany that teamed up with Martin on hit crime drama Manhunt, as well as comedy drama Doc Martin and two wildlife shows also fronted by the actor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Martin Clunes\u2019 ITV drama Out There won’t be getting a second series after its debut failed to get…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136799,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[59768,77,208,59771,59769,59770,59772,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-136798","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-doc-martin","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-itv","11":"tag-itv-drama","12":"tag-martin-clunes","13":"tag-out-there","14":"tag-ratings-cancellation","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114581680514434056","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
