Speaking about the series on Twitter, one person wrote: "When you find out one of your new favourite series isn’t making a new series," accompanied by a crying emoji, while another tweeted: "This has been one of the best crime dramas around and can give my beloved Nordic Noir dramas a run for their money. Having already watched the end I feel bereft. Superb acting all around."
Billy Campbell has suggested a spin-off series
However, it is not all bad news! The star of the show, Billy Campbell, has recently opened up about the future of the series and has hinted that while it might be over, there could be a spin-off in the works for his character John Cardinal's detective partner, Lise Delorme. He wrote: "Thanks so much, UK viewers of #CARDINAL, for your kind reviews. Sad to say it is actually over, though I do hear rumours of a Delorme spin-off… so we’ll see! :) Glad you all enjoyed it. We certainly had a ball making it, and I miss our gang mightily."
