The international distribution deal is signed and production for the second series is officially moving forward. We held the line until the producers listened to our demand. Keep an eye on the official network pages for casting news and air dates as they emerge.

We, the fans of Beecham House, are dismayed that ITV decided not to commision a second series of this great television series.

In the U.K., the show brought in 3.3 million viewers! It was airing at the same time as Victoria and it still brought in 3.3 million viewers. Here in the U.S., most television shows airing on networks only average 1.2 million viewers. 3.3 million is excellent.

I'm starting this petition because I was gutted to learn that ITV refused to commission a second series. Even if ITV won't pick it up, I read that there are international distributors who may save Beecham House. This petition is to those distributors!

I watched Beecham House via its early release for PBS Passport subscribers. It's a vibrant show with great scripting, a wonderful, diverse cast, amazing sets and stunning cinematography, and full of memorable, well-rounded characters. I loved that it focused on Indian characters as fully as the white characters. That's a rarity. It's a brilliant TV series and deserves a second series. I and fellow Beecham House fans want to see the next chapter in the stories of Baadal, John Beecham, Chancal, Margaret, and Daniel Beecham.

This is a television series directed by one of the most talented directors, who happens to be a woman, with a large, diverse cast of actors. To quote Lisa Honig from March 2019 Deadline article, it is a "Gurinder Chadha really delivers on this epic family saga. It has everything: gorgeous locations, exquisite costumes, rich diverse characters and a compelling script."

Please bring back Beecham House for Series 2!

I loved Season One! The fact that it ended on a cliffhanger with the unknown fate of a child, in addition to the large viewership should be enough to create a second season, even if it should be the final one. The fans need closure!

I am a PBS, SDPB, donor and I loved Beechum House. I enjoy seeing the fight against colonialism from a different lens than we typically see. I desperately want to know what has happened to Baby August. Please consider a season 2.

Amazingly detailed sets and costumes. Great storytelling. Directorial brilliance. Loved that this was told with authentically Indian perspective as well as British point of view. Please bring back this amazing epic series for MULTIPLE SEASONS.

Absolutely loved this series. The US viewer can be slow to pick up on these wonderful British shows especially if we are distracted with another amazing British period piece. Give us a second season and I’m sure you’ll see a huge following.

How disappointing to watch the first six episodes only to find there isn’t a second season ~ several of my friends who watch it and I agree that it’s Downton Abbey-quality addictive ~ We want to know what happens next, the story can’t be over already!!!
