Only six of Agatha Christie’s original Poirot stories have not been translated to the small screen with Suchet in the lead role, and the actor had apparently expressed a desire to complete the set.
However, The Sun reports that ITV looks likely to discontinue the series due to a lack of funds, with an insider telling the paper that “it seems certain there will be no more”.
ITV refused to confirm the rumours, with a spokesperson saying the company was in “active discussions” about filming more episodes.
