E4 has cancelled its comedy-drama Beaver Falls after two series. The decision, confirmed this week, brings the show to a close following the end of its second run.
Created and written by Iain Hollands and made by Company Pictures, Beaver Falls followed three Oxford Brookes graduates, Flynn, A-Rab and Barry, who talk their way into jobs as counsellors at an elite American summer camp in California catering to the children of the rich and powerful. Samuel Robertson, Arsher Ali and John Dagleish played the trio.
The series first aired in the summer of 2011 and returned for a second run this August. Despite a following built largely through catch-up, the second series struggled in its slot, premiering to around 281,000 viewers against the BBC’s Olympics coverage, and E4 has opted not to order a third.
Filmed in South Africa, the show drew comparisons with E4’s earlier hit The Inbetweeners, though it leaned more heavily on drama alongside its comedy.
