Very sad news. The BBC has cancelled The Goes Wrong Show. For anybody who hasn’t had the pleasure, the show – created and written by Jonathan Sayer, Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, who are also part of the onscreen ensemble – follows the misadventures of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, an amateur theatre troupe who attempt to stage a different play each week in front of a studio audience, but are woefully unsuited to the task.
From malapropisms to slapstick, egocentric fights between actors, physical comedy and stunts, Sayer, Lewis and Shields wring every possible gag out of the premise, heightened by the bravura comic acting of the Mischief Theatre ensemble – Charlie Russell, Dave Hearn, Bryony Corrigan, Nancy Zamit, Chris Leask, Greg Tannahill and Ellie Morris.
The first series was broadcast at the end of 2019, while the second series suffered delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually premiered in 2021.
It’s also worth saying that their 2016 special Peter Pan Goes Wrong, adapted from the play of the same name, might just be one of the funniest things currently available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
It was great - each episode in the series had a special gimmick - things like, the set was made too small, the set was made upside down, etc. Many laughs, and the women were easy on the eyes!
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

This was some of the funniest shit I have ever watched. Not sure if you've watched any of the other productions they have done under the TV section here (Peter Pan and Christmas Carol should be available for streaming)

They are still doing theatre productions if you are lucky/unlucky enough to live here in the UK. Went to see their magic show a couple of months ago

I've seen both seasons of the show at five episodes each, and then two of their holiday specials (Peter Pan and a Christmas Carol). Beyond that is there anything I'm missing? Seems like the rest of their stuff was live/theater only and not really digitized.

That's exactly what I saw.
@IsaacHunt Thanks for the link
The BBC has dropped sitcoms King Gary and The Goes Wrong Show as it moves away from broadcast television.

Most of the team returned to play their respective roles with the exception of Jonathan Sayer who played a mentally challenged Dennis and Bryony Corrigan who played a slightly stuck up female actress in previous shows. There are some new additions as well.
