David Mitchell may be seeing success as the lead in Ludwig, but another of the actorâs BBC shows is faring far less well.
Sitcom Upstart Crow has been cancelled despite a dedicated fanbase and Bafta nomination. Written by Blackadderâs Ben Elton, the comedy series starred Mitchell as William Shakespeare and follows his early career in Elizabethan London.

There's bad news for fans of David Mitchell's BBC comedy Upstart Crow, as it looks as though there are no plans for any future series.
The programme first aired back in 2016 and starred the Ludwig actor as William Shakespeare, as the show followed the playwright's early career in London.
It also focused on his life with his family in Stratford-upon-Avon as actress Liza Tarbuck played his wife Anne Hathaway with Helen Monks, Sebastian Barker, Joe Willis and Rosanna Beacock playing his children.
While the programme was a huge hit with viewers, with it having a stage adaptation in 2020 and again in 2022, the TV series came to an end six years ago with a Christmas special.

David Mitchell has confirmed that his BAFTA-nominated BBC show has been axed after three seasons.
Upstart Crow is based on the life of William Shakespeare and sees the comedian play the famous bard as he writes and stages some of his most famous plays.
The sitcom, written by Blackadder co-writer Ben Elton, ran for three seasons and three Christmas specials.
It premiered in 2016 as part of the commemorations of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.
However, the Peep Show star has revealed that the show, last on air in 2020, will not be returning for a fourth season, calling the decision a “shame”.
