Lenny Henry expressed disappointment over the fate of black TV dramas, citing the cancellation of his Windrush ITV show, Three Little Birds, after just one series. Henry lamented the trend of many black dramas being axed after only one season, with Three Little Birds being the latest casualty. Despite having stories planned out for a second series, Henry revealed that he would instead turn Three Little Birds into a book. The TV industry's loss of funding streams has contributed to the premature endings of these shows, leaving Henry and others concerned about the lack of representation and opportunities for black stories on television.
