ITV axes crime thriller Joan after one series - here's why
Joan (series one), which aired on ITV back in 2024, is based on the true story of "notorious" 80s jewellery thief Joan Hannington (played by Turner). The six-episode series was a hit with viewers, with millions tuning in to watch. Fans of the show have been eagerly awaiting a second season. One person, posting on Reddit group r/BritishTV, said: "I have just finished watching Joan, the real life story of diamond thief Joan Hannington. "I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written mini series. Is there going to be a season 2?" Another added: "Loved it. As someone who was in London in the 80s I thought that this was so well put together. "The depiction and atmosphere of the time and the city was really well done. Story good, actors good. Would watch a second series." While a third fan, posting on X (formerly Twitter), commented: "Just watched #Joan … now I want Series 2 already @itv."
