Netflix have axed Idris Elba's DJ sitcom Turn Up Charlie after just one season, according to reports.
The 47 year-old actor created the show about a has-been DJ trying to turn his career around, in which he plays the title role.
An insider told The Mirror: “Idris had hoped to get a second season rolling and was even working on new ideas but he couldn't get it to work.”
Last year Elba shared his ambitions for season two and said: "It’s very exciting. I’m involved with the script creation, which is mainly seeding stories.
"There are characters that have their own narrative strands now."

Quite the rollercoaster for him, coming fresh from the high of having been in Cats.

Never heard of it. Must not have been a 97% match!

It's always a roll of the dice when someone gets their passion project up and made.
Unfortunately this one was clearly self indulgent and a bit dull to watch, and this is coming from somebody who liked the show.
