Industry detractors, however, described it as “naff. Though we won’t be returning to the Costa del Crime, we would like to thank Nick Love, the cast, and the team at Vertigo Films for their hard work and creative vision.”Ī Town Called Malice‘s fans included Jeremy Clarkson, who tweeted that it was “f*****g brilliant” and the best TV show he had seen in years. Sky said: “ A Town Called Malice is a riotous, neon-soaked love letter to the 80s and we are enormously proud of the series. The drama’s ratings were lower than expected and Sky insiders are blaming the competitive environment for scripted content.ĭeadline understands that there were high hopes that A Town Called Malice would return before Season 1 had even dropped, with plans to film Season 2 penciled in for this spring. Once upon a time, there was a wicked fairy who, in an act of vengeance, cursed a line of princesses to die. But in this bewitching and fascinating (Tamora Pierce) retelling of Sleeping Beauty, true love is more than a simple fairy tale. Sky backed A Town Called Malice with its full marketing heft and the series was a key part of its 2023 originals slate, but the show has not performed as hoped. A princess isn’t supposed to fall for an evil sorceress. View Tomas Walter’s professional profile on LinkedIn.
