ITV has pulled the plug on its police comedy 'Piglets', ending the program after two series. The decision arrives following a period of criticism directed at the show's title. The broadcaster confirmed the show's cancellation, stating its run has concluded.
The program, which centered on the antics of a fictional police force, faced significant public and critical discussion regarding its name. This naming dispute appears to be the primary driver behind its premature departure from the airwaves.
'Piglets' had previously aired for two seasons, indicating a degree of initial investment and audience engagement. However, the persistent unease surrounding its title evidently outweighed its broadcast tenure. Details regarding the specific nature of the backlash or any official statements from the show's creators or cast regarding the cancellation were not immediately available.

The show's presence on ITVX, the streaming platform associated with ITV, meant it was accessible to a broad audience. ITVX itself is presented as a comprehensive hub for ITV content, encompassing a wide range of programming from drama and documentaries to reality shows and children's entertainment. The platform is promoted as a destination for 'all of ITV and so much more'. While not directly tied to the 'Piglets' decision, the platform's diverse content offerings highlight the varied landscape of television currently available. The service, according to information from June 10, 2024, also facilitates access to channels like ITV 1, ITV 2, ITV 3, and ITV 4, competing with entities such as the BBC and offering a mix of entertainment, series, films, and sports.
