The Durrells season 4 renewal: Should it happen on ITV?
Of course, we are hoping that it will based on what we’ve seen from season 3, and also what we’ve seen from virtually the entire series to date. The Durrells is a show that, by and large, exists within its own unique plane. There are no other ones out there quite like it when it comes to telling a unique family story like this in this particular setting. It’s lighthearted, picturesque, fun, and it probably reminds many people out there of their own families. This sort of television is valuable regardless of if you are in the UK or somewhere else.
It’s possible that a season 4 for The Durrells will be confirmed as early as in the aftermath of the finale tonight. That is, after all, something that the network recently did do with The Good Karma Hospital and it’s really the perfect way to ensure that no viewer ends up getting lost in the shuffle. They’ll know from the minute that the finale is over that there is going to be more in the future. This is something that we actually wish more networks around the world chose to do, mostly because it’s such a smart idea to make sure people constantly know when one of their favorite programs is coming back. (Update: Unfortunately, there was no such announcement on the air tonight; instead, we have the arrival of new visitors and a chance for Louisa and others to start charging patrons a la a hotel.)
As for how long a series like The Durrells could last, in theory it could be endless so long as Louisa and her family are in Corfu. Yet, we imagine that eventually it is going to have an end date; we’re just hoping that we can get another season or two out of it first. The ratings are still good and, beyond that, the enthusiasm still seems to be there among most of the cast and crew.
In speaking further on the subject of a future return via the Express, Alexis Georgoulis (who plays Spiros) had the following to say about the future of the series:
“[There are] a lot of rumours about the very much desired recommission … We haven’t yet had anything formal to say but we pray for that and we put it out there and create the positive energy to make it happen.”
We will absolutely keep you posted on the future of The Durrells as soon as we hear more. Fingers crossed that there is more of the story coming! (If you are in America, we are well aware that you haven’t even had a chance to enjoy the third season just yet.)
