Director Michael Winterbottom has confirmed that their Greece trip will be Coogan and Brydon’s last. Asked why now was the time to end the franchise, Coogan told Variety: “To avoid jumping the shark. We eked it out by making jokes about it becoming tired and repetitive, but even that joke can become tired and repetitive. It’s the old showbiz adage of leave them wanting more, not leave them wanting less.”
