THE SPLIT: PLANS SPIN-OFF SERIES 'PAUSED INDEFINITELY' BY BBC

The BBC have reported postponed the production of The Split spin-off series, The Split Up, which was set to commence in October.



Deadline reports that editorial reasons have forced the shoot to be paused indefinitely by the BBC and production company Sister. The outlets reports the BBC remains committed to the series, with new filming dates yet to be agreed.



Earlier this year the BBC announced The Split Up, a new six-part series featuring the high-stakes world of Manchester’s divorce law circuit, where one family of lawyers, the Kishans, reigns supreme.


Produced by Northern SISTER in association with Little Chick for BBC One and BBC iPlayer, The Split Up’s story and characters are created by Ursula Rani Sarma (Smother, Delicious) and based on The Split created by Abi Morgan, who will executive produce alongside Sarma and The Split alumni, Lucy Dyke, Jane Featherstone and producer Sumrah Mohammed.



Kishan Law is a British-Asian high net worth family law firm in Manchester, noted for its clientele and its reputation. They are the ‘go to firm’ for Manchester’s elite who come to them for their excellence, integrity, and discretion. But the future and legacy of Kishan Law hangs in the balance when a family secret from the past comes to light, throwing their professional and personal lives into turmoil.


The Split Up (6 x 60) explores the weight of parental expectations, the forces that keep families together and the truths that tear them apart. Welcome to Kishan Law. Welcome to the family.



The Split Up’s story and characters are created by Ursula Rani Sarma and based on The Split created by Abi Morgan.
