History
On 2nd June 2021, the BBC sadly announced they were axing Holby City. They said ‘We are incredibly proud of Holby City but it’s with great sadness that we are announcing that after 23 years, the show will end on screen in March of next year. We sometimes have to make difficult decisions to make room for new opportunities and as part of the BBC’s commitment to make more programmes across the UK, we have taken the difficult decision to bring the show to a close in order to reshape the BBC’s drama slate to better reflect, represent and serve all parts of the country.’
The news came as a shock to not just the cast and crew (who only found out hours before the news was made public) but also to the fans, who didn’t understand why such a popular and high rated show was being cancelled.
