In March this year it was announced that season five of the The Dr Blake Mysteries would be the show’s last full series, followed by a movie length season finale. Filming for the telemovie is already underway.
Fans and cast members of the show have expressed their disappointment in their decision to cancel the high rating series.
At the time, Craig McLachlan took to social media to share his thoughts on the series coming to an end.
Since March fans have taken to social media to rally for the series to be picked up by another network using the hashtags #SaveDoctorBlake and #BlakeArmy.
The show is also incredibly popular overseas and is currently available in over 132 international territories.
