This is absolutely gutting news.
One of the most vital TV series ever made I think. Utter fools!
A Channel 4 spokesperson told Den of Geek,
This makes absolutely no sense, if the channel loved it, and they're only going to be putting on other dramas to replace it, and the writer had at least two more series planned, why axe it?! Apparently the ratings went down a bit for series 2, but, this program is gathering steam and following, they're utterly insane to do this.
Does this just mean Channel 4 won't show it, and it's up for grabs with someone else, or does it mean it's over and they can't make any more? Not sure how it works (if someone more knowledgeable can fill me in on this)... either way, the best TV series I've ever seen has been killed, unfinished.

A Channel 4 spokesperson told Den of Geek,
"Utopia is truly channel-defining: strikingly original, powered by Dennis Kelly's extraordinary voice and brought to life in all its technicolor glory through Marc Munden's undeniable creative flair and vision, the team at Kudos delivered a series which has achieved fervent cult status over two brilliantly warped and nail-biting series. It also has the honour of ensuring audiences will never look at a spoon in the same way again. It’s always painful to say goodbye to shows we love, but it’s a necessary part of being able to commission new drama, a raft of which are launching on the channel throughout 2015.”
