Earlier this year, it was reported that Michaela Coel was ending her hit series ‘Chewing Gum’ after two seasons.
According to Michaela herself — that’s not the case. The show WILL return for season three.
YAS sis ??, but not now, my boat had sailed by the time the offer came ???????????& by now half my cast will be in Hollywood swimming in some sort of environmentally unfriendly pool. It will return (but be prepared to be surprised) lol. Thank u ?? https://t.co/ZRB2CsJUKf

The initial report said that the show wouldn’t be returning because Michaela felt the show reached a ‘creative peak’ and that it was time to move on. Michaela says she never spoke to any publication or journalist about the future of the show.
Okay SO: I never spoke to anyone, (no channel no journalist) about there not being a season 3, I learned the news the same guys you did, same shock! I was offered other opportunities way before I was offered a 3rd season, I took them because I don't like being unemployed

No one likes being unemployed. Are you excited to see more ‘Chewing Gum’ on Netflix?
