Future
In February 2008, ITV announced that it had cancelled the drama series, amid reports that Ken Stott had told producers he did not want to continue in the role of Rebus. ITV indicated that "one-off specials are a possibility for the future."
In April 2011, it was reported that Rebus could make a return to television. A spokeswoman for STV confirmed a comeback was on the cards: "We fully intend to bring Rebus back in the future. There are no firm plans yet, but it will return."
However, Ian Rankin has announced since that he has purchased the rights back to the TV series and states that he will not bring Rebus back in his previous forms, having not been a fan of the 45 minute format of the last series. Whether a new Rebus series will be made is unknown.
