As quoted from Den of Geek:
"Contrary to press reports today we can confirm that no new episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures will be filmed following the tragic death of actress Elisabeth Sladen in April, 2011. As a tribute to Elisabeth the six episodes that were recorded with her last year will be broadcast on CBBC at a date to be confirmed."
This news brings mixed feelings for this fan-sadness and happiness. Although Sarah Jane will no longer be fighting new aliens and monsters in the distant future, she will be gracing our screens with new adventures for one last time.
Of course, for as long as there are fans remembering, she will never truly disappear from our hearts.

That's exactly how they should do it. SJA with Sarah Jane is a rediculous idea but it would be horribly unfair for them not to air the three episodes that she worked so hard to finish. Good on you, BBC.
Although I know that the British standard is to find some way to extend a hit series beyond the lives of the star (eg. Taggart), on this one I think cooler heads have prevailed.
I do wish, though, that some compromise could be made with the younger stars of the series somehow. It wouldn't be SJA, of course. But since it's already been established that Maria is fighting aliens in the US perhaps that avenue might have been explored.
In fact, if K9 weren't already involved in an animated series, the K9 and Company idea might have been revived.
While we may not be able to see her on TV any longer. I'm certain fans will keep her fighting aliens out there. :)
I know I do. ;)
