Utopia took home the International Emmy Award for Best Drama Series! One of the most deserving TV award wins I've seen in, well, ever. Here's hoping for some BAFTA wins next spring.

However, at this time, Channel 4 has declined to renew the series, even turning down a proposed two-hour special pitched by Dennis Kelley

Seriously! They just won Best Drama Series! It would not be that difficult to let Dennis Kelly do a two-hour concluding special.

The optimistic side of me really wants to say yes. Given it's getting a high profile remakes by HBO, it's recent International Emmy win, it's recent 5 RTS nominations, and what will likely be some more BAFTA nominations (perhaps even a win or two), it has so much prestige, I'd be surprised if other streaming services aren't looking at it. Hell, how the fuck has Netflix not at least scooped up the streaming rights for it in the States?

Also, I really hope it wins the BAFTA TV Awards for Best Drama Series, Best Director, and Best Actress/Supporting Actress (dunno how they would classify her) for Fiona O'Shaughnessy.
