BBC One has confirmed that it has cancelled The Paradise.
The period costume drama will not return for a third series, the broadcaster said in a statement.
"We are incredibly proud to have made two successful series of period drama The Paradise for BBC One," said a spokesperson.
"However, in order to make room for new dramas to come through, The Paradise won't be returning."
The Paradise - written and created by Bill Gallagher - was adapted from the classic French novel by Emile Zola and starred Emun Elliott, Joanna Vanderham and Ben Daniels.
Launched in September 2012 with 6.61m, the series premiered its second run in October last year to 6.04m.
The series finale, airing on December 8, pulled in 5.07m.

Ahead of series two's debut on Sunday night, Digital Spy spoke to Daniels to find out what drew him to The Paradise department store...
The BBC has a strong reputation for period drama, so was working on The Paradise something you leapt at?
"Not because it was a period drama but because of the role - the description I was given of him. Bill Gallagher wrote to me and said, 'I'm thinking up a new character and I'd love you to play him - this is who he is'.
"He wrote the most fantastic synopsis of Tom Weston. Before I'd even read the script, he sent me a box-set of the first series so...

Today is going rogue with this week with Sarah Palin (and Ryan Seacrest), as NBC’s morning talk show wages battle with rival Good Morning America, which, as previously reported, has Katie Couric co-hosting through Friday.
The controversial Palin will turn the tables on the “gotcha media” this Tuesday, when she drops by Today on Tuesday to host opposite Matt Lauer. Meanwhile, American Idol frontman Seacrest is slated to appear Tuesday, as well, “to make a big NBC announcement.” (Today exec producer Jim Bell first tweeted the news.)
