As fans of the books will know, the first novel concludes with Callum arrested under false charges, with Sephy's father Kamal pulling the strings to ensure he receives the death sentence. Despite riots and multiple attempts to save Callum from his fate, time ran out for the star-crossed lovers, as Callum is hanged just as Sephy arrives, shouting to him that she loves him.

Were you expecting the ending?

The series ends one year later, with Kamal no longer the Prime Minister due to the abuse of his power, and with Callum becoming a symbol for change in the unjust society. Meanwhile, Sephy has welcomed their baby daughter, who she names Callie Rose.

Executive producer James Gandhi has spoken about a potential season three, telling Digital Spy: "It's not necessarily the end of the television show. This is the climax of Callum and Sephy's love story... but there is more in the Noughts + Crosses world, this is just the end of Callum and Sephy’s love story."
