The Kent-based reboot series has been a cosy watch for viewers but The Sun<\/a> reports that the broadcaster is not set to continue the show after a dip in ratings.<\/p>\n The drama also hit the headlines when actress Sabrina Bartlett<\/a> left the series after the first season. The Daily Mail<\/a> reported at the time that her departure was due to a \u201csensitive\u201d on-set \u201cdisagreement\u201d, although her publicist told the publication that it was because of \u201cscheduling clashes\u201d.<\/p>\n She was replaced<\/a> by former Emmerdale actress Joelle Rae<\/a>, who took over the role of Mariette.<\/p>\n A tabloid source has now called the ratings for season 2 \u201cdisappointingly low\u201d and suggested there were \u201cother disagreements\u201d on set.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> has reached out about the report to ITV, which has yet to comment.<\/p> While the second season\u2019s figures were down on the first outing, it\u2019s worth noting that The Larkins was still consistently one of ITV1\u2019s top-rated shows, only behind the likes of Emmerdale<\/a>, Coronation Street<\/a>, I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out of Here!<\/a> and Doc Martin<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to BARB<\/a>\u2018s consolidated 7-day figures, ratings also remained relatively steady across all six episodes, with its first episode pulling in 4m viewers and its final episode getting 4.47m.<\/p>\n The series is an adaptation of HE Bates\u2019s 1958 novel The Darling Buds of May<\/a>, and also stars Joanna Scanlan and Bradley Walsh as much-loved couple Ma and Pop Larkin.<\/p>\n The Larkins seasons 1 and 2 are available to watch now on ITVX.
