The Idris Elba-led comedy Turn Up Charlie is over as Netflix has pulled the plug on the show after only one season. The series co-created by Elba and Gary Reich centered on a struggling DJ and bachelor who becomes a nanny for his famous best friend’s daughter.
“Turn Up Charlie will not return for a second season,” said a Netflix spokesperson. “We’re especially grateful to star and executive producer Idris Elba, who turned his passion for DJing into a witty, heart-warming comedy series. We’re also thankful to executive producers Gary Reich and Tristram Shapeero and co-executive producers Martin Joyce and Ana Garanito, along with the dedicated cast and crew, for bringing this story to life on Netflix. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Idris on future projects.”
At the time of reporting, there are no current projects in the works between Elba and Netflix. The actor will return to the big screen next with 2021’s The Suicide Squad, directed by James Gunn.
