Annika’s latest series aired on BBC in 2023
Her father, Magnus, had been staying with Annika for a while, and it seemed he’d been in town trying to ensure his involvement in Jacqueline’s brother’s death, which was considered to be a diving accident, never came to light.
In the final scene, Annika, upon realising the shocking truth, turned to the camera and pleaded: “Help me” before the credits rolled.
Unfortunately, fans may never learn the outcome of the plot, with new episodes unlikely.
Responding to the recent update, fans expressed their annoyance at not getting an ending to the series.
Writing on X, one penned: “Unfinished stories and two series then cancellations seems to be getting too frequent now in drama on all channels. As I keep saying, it begs the question, why should viewers invest their time?”
A second wrote: “Loved #annika,” along with a crying face emoji.
Someone else added: “I tend to think they’d get better results if they made fewer shows and let them finish properly.
“I’ve pretty much given up on starting new shows on paid subscription services as it’s not worth the time & money.”
