Fans of Miranda Hart’s much-loved comedy show Miranda have been left disappointed as she denied filming series 4.
Taking to her Facebook account, Miranda let excited fans down through a post after reports claimed she would be back for a new series.
The 49-year-old wrote: “It’s so lovely when some people get excited that there might be more Miranda. Means a lot.
Is Miranda coming back for series 4?
“But I’m afraid what was in papers today didn’t come from me.
“Nothing planned at this time.”
She rounded the post off with a heart emoji to soften the blow.
But fans of the sitcom, that ran from 2009-2015, weren’t to be consoled.
One gutted fan wrote: “We can all hope for Miranda, the next stage of her life, to become a reality. They really are a breath of fresh air, and some much needed light relief, when the world these days is so dark.”
Another agreed saying: “We can always wish, loved the humour of Miranda especially the little chats to camera.”
“But more Miranda is a great idea. Surely what you read in the paper is always 100% truth. Looking forward to it,” joked a third.
And a fourth said: “They featured you and the return of Miranda on Good Morning Britain today… that much be stressful. You are wonderful.”
“Ahh wish it was true..But will have to keep watching all your wonderful episodes, that I have watched and laughed through many times now.. Again and again!!! If there’s nothing on the telly or feeling a bit down, Miranda is always a go to watch,” added another.
