BBC cancels star’s show after one season

news-14062024-203809

The BBC recently made the decision to cancel Daisy May Cooper’s sitcom “Rain Dogs” after just one season, disappointing fans of the show. The program, which aired on HBO in the United States, did not perform well with viewers on both sides of the Atlantic, leading to its cancellation. Despite the talent of the show’s cast, including Cooper in the lead role of Costello Jones, low ratings ultimately sealed its fate.

While some critics praised the writing of “Rain Dogs,” production company Sid Gentle and creator Cash Carraway agreed it was time to abandon the series. This news is a blow to Cooper, who saw the series as an opportunity to stand out in the American television industry. However, she can take comfort from the fact that her other BBC sitcom, “Am I Being Unreasonable?”, co-written with Selin Hizli, has been renewed for a second season.

In a more personal development, Daisy May Cooper recently welcomed her baby boy, Benji, into the world. Benji arrived earlier than expected, leading to a difficult post-surgery recovery for Cooper. Despite the challenges, she expressed gratitude to the hospital’s medical team for the exceptional care provided during this frightening time. Cooper shared a touching Instagram video of her with Benji in his neonatal crib, expressing joy at his arrival and calling him “crazy.”

Benji is Cooper’s first child with partner Anthony, adding to his family which includes his other children Pip and Jack. Benji’s arrival brought both joy and challenges to Cooper’s life, but she remains grateful for the love and support she received during this time.

Although the cancellation of “Rain Dogs” may be disappointing for fans of the series, Cooper’s resilience and positive attitude in the face of challenges, both in his professional and personal life, is an inspiration to many. As she navigates the ups and downs of her career and motherhood, Cooper’s fans can expect to see more of her work on screen in the future.
