“The door is ajar, rather than closed.” <\/p>

Fans of the darkly comic stylings of Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have bid farewell to their hit anthology series Inside No. 9, which has enjoyed a remarkably long run on BBC Two and iPlayer.<\/p>\n

Each half-hour episode tells a self-contained story, confined to one location and featuring an all-new cast of characters<\/a>, which has presented quite the writing challenge for the dynamic duo over the past decade.<\/p>\n

The pair are now moving on, having satisfyingly reached the milestone ninth season, but they aren\u2019t locking the door to No. 9 forever, with a stage show confirmed<\/a> to be on the way and potential for a revival somewhere down the line.<\/p>\n

For now, here\u2019s everything Shearsmith and Pemberton have said about wrapping up Inside No. 9 as well as what the future might hold for the fan-favourite series.<\/p>\n

Why won\u2019t there be an Inside No. 9 season 10?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The creators have said they were \u201cdetermined\u201d to get to nine seasons of Inside No. 9, and admitted that it now feels like a natural time to put a pin in the acclaimed anthology.<\/p>\n
Steve Pemberton told Radio Times<\/strong>: \u201cI don\u2019t think we regret deciding to finish. Numerically, it\u2019s our little in-joke \u2013 nine series of Inside No. 9. It could easily have stopped after five series, but we were determined to get to that landmark.\u201d<\/p>\n
Previously, he told fans at a screening that writing season 9 was \u201chard\u201d because the show had already attempted \u201cso many ways\u201d of telling a story that they had to be careful not to \u201crepeat\u201d themselves.<\/p>
On that note, Shearsmith added: \u201cThere will be a sadness to [ending the show], but also massive relief that we\u2019ve got to the end without compromising on the high bar we set ourselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve done 55 different stories now, and to have not repeated ourselves or started to wane feels like an achievement. We\u2019re very proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, the primary reason why Inside No. 9 is ending is to ensure that it goes out on a high note, rather than suffering the kind of gradual decline in quality that has befallen numerous other shows before it.<\/p>\n
Is there an Inside No. 9 stage show?<\/strong><\/h2>\n $\"Reece$ \n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>
