The Nine Network has scrapped plans for a sequel to the Olympic-themed mockumentary The Games.

Nine announced plans at the end of 2010 for The Games: London Calling, a follow-up to the series which aired on the ABC in the lead up to the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

It starred comedians John Clarke, Bryan Dawe and Gina Riley as the Olympic Organising Committee.

After a number of delays, a network insider has confirmed to The Sun-Herald that the series will no longer proceed.

Instead, Nine has given Hamish Blake and Andy Lee a second series, which will see the comedy duo travel to London prior to the Games.

It's unclear whether The Games: London Calling will have a future back on the ABC or another broadcaster.
