However, for its second series, it was quickly moved to ITV amid its popularity.
But now, the comedy-drama set in Dublin will come to a close with its impending third series.
Production on its final episodes is currently underway in Dublin with the show likely to hit screens next year.
The programme's writer, Nancy Harris, confirmed that there would be no more editions in a statement in which she reflected on the show.
She said: 'It has been a true joy to see audiences embrace the Sheridan family in all their dysfunctional glory and I am so grateful to have gotten to tell this story over three seasons.
"The third and final season aims to go deeper than ever before, really getting under the skin of Shiv and the family in a way that we hope is both surprising, funny and (painfully) honest.'
Whilst Nana Hughes, the Head of Scripted Comedy at ITV went on to add: "ITV are absolutely thrilled to be part of the team alongside RTÉ and Element Pictures for the third and final series of The Dry.
"Nancy Harris' scripts will make you laugh and may well make you cry....I did both just reading the scripts.
"Nancy's award winning writing delivers more of the chaotic mess that is the Sheridan family.
"I can't wait to see what Paddy and the cast will bring to the finale of this wonderful show.'
Endeavour star returns in major new ITV drama in first TV role since that show was axed
The programme follows Shiv Sheridan, played by actress Roisin Gallagher, a woman recovering from alcoholism who makes her way back home to Dublin.
At 35 years old, she is fresh off ten years in London trying to be successful as an artist but to no avail.
Her family in Dublin are not very supportive of her sobriety as they are all big drinkers and some even drug-users.
The Dry follows Shiv as she navigates this and how she finds her feet back amongst her family in Dublin.

Where are the Hemsworths? Chris and Elsa have not been seen together in weeks as they take separate trips away despite both being in Europe
and Elsa Pataky appear to be making the most of their European summers separately. The Thor star, 41, and the Spanish actress, 48, haven't been pictured together in weeks as they enjoyed separate trips away. Chris shared a post to Instagram last month which featured a series of snaps from a beachside escape in Hossegor, France with his longtime personal trainer and best mate Luke Zocchi. His parents Leonie and Craig also joined him on the relaxing getaway. Chris' wife Elsa enjoyed her own holiday in her native Spain, also posting several snaps to Instagram just days later. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, . They were pictured together one week prior to their holidays as they supported their son Sasha at his surfing competition in Byron Bay. The Hemsworths have made Byron Bay their home in recent years, and the actor has frequently shared glimpses of their laid-back, surf-filled lifestyle on social media. The couple purchased their sprawling 4.2-hectare estate in Byron Bay back in 2014 for $7million, eventually constructing a $50million mega mansion on the site. The property features six bedrooms, a spa, games and media rooms as well as sprawling outdoor living areas. Chris recently revealed a new addition to the sprawling property - a lavish home gym. The Thor star created a state-of-the-art training facility called The Shed for his fitness brand, Centr, which was unveiled in January. Speaking to Hemsworth's personal trainer and business partner, Luke Zocchi, explained that the facility serves as a space for Centr trainers to test new workouts and equipment while also having fun. 'It's definitely next level,' Zocchi said. They were pictured together one week prior to their holidays as they supported their son Sasha at his surfing competition in Byron Bay 'Chris made sure to include the latest and greatest Centr equipment in the gym.' He mentioned that much of the equipment at The Shed -which includes treadmills, cable machines, weight benches, and power racks - is currently unavailable in Australia. 'Some of the equipment isn't available in Australia yet, but will be soon,' Zocchi revealed. 'It's where Chris, the boys, and I can come through for a session, or we can just chill and recover when we need to. 'It's a place to really get after it or reset, depending on what we need.'
