Channel 4's Rise and Fall cancelled after one season

Only one of the Rulers left over at the end could take home the prize pot that the Grafters accrued from their work-shifts, but contestants could rise up to the penthouse, or be voted out and sent down to the basement.

Following reports that the show had been cancelled, A Channel 4 spokesperson confirmed to Deadline: "Rise and Fall was a great show that we were very proud of and attracted strong audiences, but Channel 4 is all about the new and we want to make space for the next great new reality idea.

"We would like to thank Greg and the talented team who made such a hugely fun and innovative show."

This news comes as The Traitors has just finished airing its second season, which was a huge ratings hit while also being hailed by fans of the first season.
