Long-running comedy drama Brassic – one of Sky’s most successful shows – is set to bow out after one last run and it's set to be an unmissable finale series. Alongside the show’s co-creator Joe Gilgun, who leads as the quick-witted and reckless Vinnie O’Neill, Michelle Keegan will make an emotional return in what will no doubt be a memorable seventh series.

Set in the fictional northern English village of Hawley, the cult series has followed a gang of lovably chaotic, cash-strapped friends – characters which fans soon became attached to. Yet for all its mischief and escapades, Brassic has drawn praise for platforming important themes including mental health issues, with Gilgun stating that some of his own struggles are mirrored in Vinnie’s.

Co-creator and series writer Danny Brocklehurst reflected on the show coming to an end, saying: “It’s been a complete joy to create this eccentric world, but all good things must come to an end, and we want to stop while we are still riding high. Maybe they can finally give us that BAFTA!”
