Michelle Keegan has shared a heartfelt message with her fans, saying ‘for the record’ following the announcement about her TV future. It’s been confirmed that the actress will be bidding farewell as the hit Sky comedy show Brassic wraps up with an upcoming seventh season.
The creators of the much-loved series have decided to bow out on a high note, stating they want to “stop while we are still riding high” and confirming that the series currently in production will be its last. Starring Joseph ‘Joe’ Gilgun and Michelle Keegan, Brassic has charmed audiences with its portrayal of a group of skint working-class mates in the fictional village of Hawley.
Joe, famed for his roles in Preacher and Misfits, co-created the show alongside Shameless scribe Danny Brocklehurst.
Danny Brocklehurst expressed his feelings about the show’s conclusion: “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.”
He added: “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.”, reports the Manchester Evening News.

David Livingstone, the head at Brassic’s production company Calamity Films said: “Somehow, some crazy stories and a bucketful of truth, combined with an astoundingly talented cast, have created the most loyal fanbase you could ever hope for. From Joe Gilgun’s unconventional imagination to Danny Brocklehurst’s brilliant writing, it’s all been a blast. This farewell series is for the fans.”
A Sky spokesperson added: “Since Brassic arrived on our screens in 2019, it has become Sky’s most successful comedy ever. Fans very quickly became attached to this dynamic group of friends, as they found unconventional ways to win at life in northern suburbia.”
They continued: “We would like to thank Joe Gilgun, Danny Brocklehurst and the whole cast and crew – past and present – for bringing us all a truly iconic series, which we’ve loved for its special mix of hilarity and heart.”
The final bow for the show is set for later in 2025, and it’s promised to be an “unforgettable Brassic style” farewell.

However, Michelle Keegan, famed for her role as Erin Croft, and her fellow cast members were quick to clarify that the show hadn’t been ‘axed’. Aaron Heffernan, who plays Ash Dennings, took to Instagram with a lively video from the set, urging fans to stay tuned for the last series and catch up on previous ones if they’ve missed out.
His caption read: “Here’s a big brassic announcement for anyone wondering about series 7 you’re welcome god bless.”
Michelle re-shared Aaron’s post on her Instagram Story and set the record straight: “And just for the record… Brassic has not been ‘AXED’ or ‘cancelled’, it’s come to a natural end after 6 fantastic seasons and we’re currently in the middle of making the 7th and final season. Sending love to all the Brassic fans out there.”
