Russell T Davies: There won’t be a second series of It’s a Sin

OHMYGOSSIP — Russell T Davies has “moved on” from ‘It’s A Sin.’
The 59-year-old screenwriter penned the semi-autobiographical drama for Channel 4 – which saw pop star Olly Alexander star as gay teenager Ritchie Tozer growing up during the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s and 1990s – back in 2021 and while it was met with rave reviews, there will not be a second series.
Russell said: “I can see it had an extraordinary resonance but you sit down with the next script and it’s a blank page and I think ‘I’ve got no idea what I’m doing’. You think ‘I can’t do that again’, which is why there isn’t a second series. I just like to move on and do something different.”
The acclaimed writer – who also created and wrote two series of groundbreaking gay drama ‘Queer as Folk’ for Channel 4 back in the 1990s – went on to explain that he is “glad” to have moved on from the hard-hitting show, which also starred the likes of Keeley Hawes, Stephen Fry and Lydia West.
He is quoted by The Daily Star newspaper as saying: “I’m glad I’ve moved on. I’m glad I’m doing something new in which it’s a wild open prairie of storylines.”
Meanwhile, Russell has returned to his role as showrunner on BBC series ‘Doctor Who’ after more than a decade away and claimed it was an “absolute joy” to have cast trans actress Yasmin Finney as a a character named Rose opposite new Time Lord Ncuti Gatwa, who is set to take over the TARDIS from current Doctor Jodie Whittaker later this year.
Russell said: “Life on Doctor Who gets brighter and wilder, how can there be another Rose?. You’ll find out in 2023, but it’s an absolute joy to welcome Yasmin to the Doctor Who set. We all fell in love with her in Heartstopper, one of those shows which changes the world — and now Yasmin can change the Whoniverse!”
