"Coronation Street" has been cancelled in the US to the disappointment of fans. Hulu confirmed that they will no longer be streaming episodes of the popular ITV soap after the March 28 episode.
According to Mirror, Hulu released an official statement, in which it confirmed that new episodes of "Coronation Street" will no longer be available for streaming. Viewers, however, will still be able to watch 848 older episodes of the British soap.
"New episodes will be unavailable as of April 7th, 2016," the statement read.
Longtime fans of "Coronation Street" took to Twitter to air their disappointment towards Hulu for cancelling the soap. Some posted that they even cancelled their subscription following the announcement.
Some, however, thought that the statement was a little vague. They wondered if Hulu was just fixing a glitch and will air new "Coronation Street" episodes soon. A representative, however, soon cleared up the misunderstanding and confirmed that they will no longer be airing new episodes of the British soap.
"Sorry for the confusion. At this time, we aren't getting any new eps of Corrie; but we'll definitely pass along your interest."
In other news, "Coronation Street" co-stars Ben Price and Jack P Shepherd will be starring in a new short, titled "Taubman." This is the second film that Price wrote and directed himself, following "I'm Sorry To Tell You."
According to Metro, "Taubman" follows a man who is attempting to obtain a passport in a futuristic environment from a controlling bureaucrat. It was said that it took Price almost 18 months to make the 18-minute film. Inspired by his success in his first film, the actor shared that they also wanted to enter "Taubman" in the BAFTAs, so that more people will be able to see it.
Price said that his latest offering was a collaborative effort of all the people at the Corrie.
"They're not really my films, they're everyone's. This is a film from all of us at Corrie which is not confined to what we have to show on ITV. You make what you make, this is our film - if people don't like it, they don't like it. You just have to try," he added.
