Comedian Lucy Beaumont's show Hullraisers has reportedly been cancelled after two seasons.
The reports come following her shock split from her husband Jon Richardson. The duo shared their big news on April 12, 2024. In a shocking statement, mere days after she explained the only downside to working with her other half, the pair said: "After 9 years of marriage, we would like to announce that we have separated.
"We have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go our separate ways. As our only priority is managing this difficult transition for our daughter, we would ask that our privacy be respected at this sensitive time to protect her well-being. We will be making no further comment"
And now, it is understood Lucy landed another fresh blow after Hullraisers was reportedly axed after two seasons. The 40-year-old star writes for the series, which stars Leah Brotherhead, Taj Atwal and Sinead Matthews as three women working and navigating their lives in Hull.

The reports come following her shock split from her husband Jon Richardson (Rob Parfitt / Channel 4)Channel 4 previously described the comedy series as "the hilarious and agonising reality of what it is to be a working-class woman juggling work, kids, demanding friends, family and frustrating parents from the school playground – all whilst trying to have some fun too."

It's now been reported by The Sun that "the gang won't be reunited for a third series, with a source saying the show is 'two and done". The Mirror have contacted Channel 4 for comment. The news of the cancellation comes after Lucy and Jon announced their split.
The pair first met when they were match-made by fellow comedian Roisin Conaty and tied the knot in April 2015. They welcomed a daughter a year later, but have made sure she is kept away from the spotlight. Lucy gave fans a brief update on the divorce at a show in London's Bloomsbury Theatre.
She was back on stage on April, 20, for another performance as part of her first stand-up tour across the country, a show titled The Trouble and Strife. The words ring ironically as the expression is a British slang term for "wife", prompting Lucy to offer an explanation. "I didn’t have time to change the show", she quipped.
Lucy went on to address the headlines and admitted to the audience they had agreed to go their separate ways "last year" only revealing the news days ago as a publication had allegedly "found out" before their reveal. Lucy has assured she and Jon remain on good terms, according to the Metro's review of her show, adding: "We’re friends. It’s the best for everybody."
