ITV have dropped Monroe after two series, according to Broadcast Now.
An ITV spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that Monroe will not be returning. It has been a fantastic series, which we have been proud to have on the channel, but continuing to refresh our slate is an important part of the creative process for ITV Drama.”
We wish Andrew Gower all the best with his future roles, along with the whole wonderful cast.

We know from Andrew Gower‘s Spotlight CV that he has filmed the part of David Kingsley / Sherlock Holmes, and IMDb has an episode titled “A Study in Sherlock” listed as episode 4 of season 6. Therefore, we can assume from this that Andrew’s episode will screen in Canada on 28 January 2013; however we will confirm this as soon as we can.
Murdoch Mysteries screens on the Alibi Channel in the UK, there is no confirmed date for season 6 as yet but again, we will confirm as soon as possible.
Could this be the role Andrew Gower wil play in Misfits next weekend? Channel 4 Press have posted the episode guide to Misfits episode 4×04 where Andrew plays a character called Jake:

As he investigates further, he is forced to use his power to bring someone back from the dead, with disastrous results. Meanwhile, Rudy and Finn have a disagreement about their shared living arrangements at the community centre, and Jess finally gets closer to mysterious barman Alex.
Hopefully there will be some indication at the end of this week’s episode – we’ll screencap if there is and get them uploaded. The episode will screen on E4 on Sunday 18 November.
Michael Emmerson, co-founder of Andrew Gower‘s former band Emerson, has announced that Andrew will be appearing with him on stage at Studio 2, Parr Street, Liverpool, on Thursday 8 November 2012.

Andrew Gower is involved in a new independent short film by Manjinder Virk titled Out of Darkness. Manjinder played the role of Mullery’s love interest Sally Fortune in season 1 of Monroe so we are excited to see them working together again.
Tom Hiddleston, Monica Dolan, Jimmy Akingbola, Christine Bottomley, Riz Ahmed, Asheq Akhtar and Noma Dumezweni are also involved in the film.
There are very few details available about the film at present as it is still in post-production, but you can follow the Twitter account for updates, and we will of course update here when any more news is released.
Channel 4‘s press page has been updated with information for week 44, listing the return of Misfits to E4 on Sunday 28 October at 10pm.
This means that Andrew Gower‘s appearance (in episode 4) as Jake will be on Sunday 18 November.
The episode 1 overview is as follows:
Misfits is back for the fourth series and new gang members Finn and Jess are zipping up those iconic orange jumpsuits for their first day of community service and meeting their probation worker… or is it their new probation worker? Things become stranger still when a man stumbles into the community centre with a briefcase and a power that infects them all. The truth unravels in a series of tense flashbacks and it’s soon clear to Finn and Jess that there’s more to community service than scrubbing off graffiti and picking up litter…
We will add any images of Andrew in his role as soon as they become available.
ETA (18 October 2012)
E4’s Misfits Twitter account has now also confirmed Sunday 28 October as the transmission date for episode 1.
Monroe 2×03
Dr Monroe (James Nesbitt) is still reeling from his failed surgery last week. When he operates on 25 year old Alex Schofield (Gwilym Lee), who has a benign tumor in his spine, he loses confidence altogether and stops the procedure midway. Only after he successfully removes a knife from a rugby fan’s head, he gains his “mojo” back.
Shepherd (Tom Riley) and Bremner (Sarah Parish) decide to try counselling to save their relationship but Shepherd still tries to deal with his infidelty and whether or not he should reveal the truth to Bremner which would potentially endanger Sarah Witney’s (Christina Chong) job.
Springer’s (Luke Allen-Gale) promotion as registrar has slightly gone to his head until Mullery (Andrew Gower) mocks him about his new appearance and tells him that he hadn’t been Monroe’s first choice. Witney asks Springer out on a date but instead of going to a fancy restaurant, they end up at Monroe’s house and poker night.
