Sky's police comedy Code 404 has been cancelled after three seasons, with stars Danny Mays and Stephen Graham citing their busy schedules as the reason for not continuing with the show. Code 404 follows the story of Danny's semi-robotic detective, John Major, who is brought back to life using AI. Despite its popularity, the stars have confirmed that the show will not return in the near future.

'We were lucky to get three seasons of Code 404 and had great fun doing it, but it almost certainly won't be coming back,' Danny Mays stated. Code 404 first aired in 2020 and became Sky's most-watched comedy in nearly a decade. Despite this, the stars' busy schedules have prevented further filming.

Stars focus on other projects

Danny Mays is currently starring in the ITV1 drama Long Shadow, while Stephen Graham will be seen in Netflix's crime drama Bodies. The cancellation of Code 404 comes after scenes were shot last year for the upcoming series Bodies, where Stephen will join a talented cast in solving a murder that spans over 150 years.

The cancellation of Code 404 marks the end of a beloved comedy series that garnered high ratings and entertained audiences. Despite fans' hopes for a return, it seems that the busy schedules of the show's stars have made it impossible to continue the production.
