Hebburn has been dropped by BBC Two.
The comedy will not return for a third series, its creator Jason Cook has confirmed.
In a statement, Cook said: "Just so everyone knows, the BBC will not be renewing Hebburn for a third series. We've had such a great time making series one and two and I'd like to thank the BBC for allowing us to do this.
"The team that made Hebburn were so committed to it and those both in front of and behind the camera were what made Hebburn so special."
Hebburn first aired on BBC Two in October 2012 and followed Jack Pearson (Chris Ramsey), a local boy who returns to his home town with a new girlfriend - secretly his wife - in tow.
Kimberley Nixon, Gina McKee and Vic Reeves - credited under his real name of Jim Moir - also appeared in the series, which aired its final episode on December 17, 2013.
