Supernatural drama Being Human is being axed by the BBC after it finishes its current run.
The series, which has pulled in more than a million viewers, will reach an “apocalyptic end”, with the central characters facing a showdown with the Devil.
The BBC3 programme, which developed from a 2008 pilot show, has seen its main cast playing a werewolf, a ghost and a vampire who try to hold down normal lives replaced since its early days.
Being Human’s fifth series will climax with the sinister Captain Hatch, played by Phil Davis, being unmasked as the devil.
Station controller Zai Bennett said: “Being Human has been a fantastic and faithful friend to BBC3. However, all good things come to an end.”
