After three seasons, David Tennant and Michael Sheen’s thriller series Staged is coming to an end.
The comedy was debuted during the epidemic, with both performers portraying themselves attempting to prepare a theatrical event using Zoom conversations.
Despite being an idea for the epidemic, Staged was a big success.
Unfortunately, it has come to an end.
‘We’ve had a wonderful time filming the series but have no plans to do more,’ Tennant told The Sun.
‘It was a show borne out of a particular period of time – lockdown – when we were all in our houses communicating via Zoom, as our characters did in the show.
‘We couldn’t get out. Now, as the characters demonstrate in some of the scenes in the new series, we can.’
Staged roped in a number of huge Hollywood cameos from Ewan McGregor to Samuel L Jackson and Whoopi Goldberg.
Georgia Tennant and Anna Lundberg, Tennant and Sheen’s respective partners, also made appearances.
Sheen already discussed the key to the show’s success.
‘We didn’t take ourselves too seriously and made fun of ourselves – I think people enjoyed that,’ he told the BBC.
‘I’m using the sort of format and medium that everyone is using.
We’ve been able to tap into what’s humorous and ludicrous about having to perform calls on Zoom and other such things. We also have delightful surprises like Judi Dench and Samuel L. Jackson in this new series, and there will be plenty more of those surprises.’
Staged is available to stream on BBC iPlayer and Britbox.
