The Durrells season 4 renewal confirmed by ITV

For everyone out there eager to see more of The Durrells, great news — there will be a fourth season airing on ITV in the new year. We know that American viewers haven’t had a chance to dive into season 3 just yet, but know that you’re now for-certain going to be seeing more of the story beyond this.

Ultimately, we cannot say that anything pertaining to this renewal is much of a surprise, given the fact that The Durrells is a consistent ratings performer on ITV and is the perfect sort of show for the spring — it’s light, it’s funny, and it features memorable characters and a world you want to dive into. Sure, Louisa and her family do get their fair share of heartbreak and disappointment, but at the same time they are there for each other through thick and thin. It’s a delightful message of family that we wish more series had an opportunity to embrace.

In a statement confirming the news, ITV’s Senior Drama Commissioner, Victoria Fea, had the following to say:

“The Durrells has proven immensely popular with viewers and critics alike, so we’re thrilled to have commissioned another series. Simon Nye’s writing is witty, big-hearted and hugely engaging, so we’re looking forward to seeing what the fourth series has in store.”

We do wonder how long a series like The Durrells an really last given that we imagine many characters wanting to leave Corfu at some point. Yet, we’re happy that we haven’t quite made it to this point just yet and there is (hopefully) still a good bit of story still to explore within this region and with these characters. We don’t want to spoil anything from season 3 for those who haven’t watched it, but we do think that it ends off in a fairly interesting place where we’ve got a great reason to keep rooting for the family moving forward.
