BRITAINNIA AXED BY SKY AFTER THREE SERIES

Britannia has reportedly been axed by Sky after three series, reports Deadline. Sky declined to comment when approached by the outlet.

The series stars David Morrissey, Mackenzie Crook, Sophie Okonedo, Annabel Scholey, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Eleanor Worthington-Cox and Zoë Wanamaker. In a world of mythic Celtic tribes, psychedelic druids and terrifying Romans, series three saw a young girl try to build a rebel alliance with a group of misfits.

The most recent series of Britannia saw radical transformation in Cait’s (Eleanor Worthington-Cox) journey as the Chosen One with a decision that will tie her to the future of her war-torn people and their ravaged land.

Aulus (David Morrissey) came under pressure from a new and dark force - otherwise known as his wife (Sophie Okonedo), whilst Amena (Annabel Scholey) finds herself in a lethal Ménage à trois with both of them.

Created by the multi-award-winning writers Jez Butterworth, his brother Tom Butterworth and James Richardson. Epic, action packed, full of humour and terrifying in equal measure, Britannia was produced by Vertigo Films and Neal Street Productions in association with Sky Studios.
