THE BBC has axed River City after over two decades on air in a shock move.
Execs have called time on the BBC Scotland drama, which aired its first episode in 2002.
In a statement, the Beeb said River City will come to an end in 2026.
The move has been blamed on a decline in audience ratings towards long-running series.
Hayley Valentine, Director, BBC Scotland said: “River City has been a wonderful adventure and of course we’ll all be sad to see it go.
“The team have done a brilliant job and I know they have some big plans for the finale next year. But as viewing patterns change and competition intensifies, this is the right time to invest in the next generation of high-impact drama series from across Scotland showcasing storytelling across the UK.
“Our goal is to grow Scotland further on the global drama map – with a slate of world-class productions that set the standard not just here but internationally too.”
