The 12-part series launched in July last year, starring newcomer Elliot Knight as Sinbad, alongside Lost’s Naveen Andrews as Sinbad’s nemesis, Lord Akbari, and Orla Brady (Fringe) as the evil Taryn.

Sky1 told CultBox this morning: “As a broad, family entertainment channel, Sinbad was the perfect drama to showcase Sky1’s ambitions for long-running, blockbuster series. We were thrilled with the cast and the production team at Impossible, however, we feel that Sinbad’s story has now been told.”

They added: “We’re in development on a number of exciting new projects and look forward to sharing more news with our customers very soon.”
