What a thrilling ending to a brilliant series. Siobhan I'm so sad about! I also don't think Fran is gone, the 'King' most definitely is. It will be strange to watch the next series without them... I also didn't watch the Fran scene.
RTÉ Television's Head of Drama, Jane Gogan, has confirmed that Love/Hate will not return to screens in 2015, but that a sixth season of the crime drama is in development.
In a statement, she said: "RTÉ can confirm that Love/Hate will not return to screens in 2015. A sixth series is currently in development with the writer and creator Stuart Carolan and Octagon Films."
She continued: "It's just a week since the series finale aired and RTÉ, the producers and Stuart believe it's important to take time before going to production with a sixth season.
"Our main objective will always be to ensure the quality and creative dynamic of a new series mirrors the high standards Love/Hate viewers have come to expect over the past five seasons."
Probably the right decision to leave it a bit but its a big loss to RTÉ's 2015 schedule
I wonder if Chanel 5 intend showing season 2 or if they gave just dropped it after showing the first one last autumn.
I phoned Channel 5 and was told that they have the rights but it does not have plans to show it in the near future. I also asked if it would be shown this year and was told it was not scheduled. So it looks like it will be at least 2015 before it is shown if it is shown at all. Personnally I hope if Channel 5 dont want it the BBC buys the rights and could put it on BBC 4
RTÉ crime drama Love/Hate will be screened across Europe and dubbed into French and German in a new deal with on-demand film and TV service, Netflix.

Some achievement for such a small broadcaster like RTÉ! - Licence payers money well spent
