Unfortunately, fans of the hit crime drama The Tower will not be getting a fourth series. ITV has announced that they have decided to cancel the show after just three successful seasons. This news came as a surprise to many, especially since the show featured popular actors such as Gemma Whelan from Game of Thrones, Emmett J Scanlan from Peaky Blinders, and upcoming Strictly star Tamzin Outhwaite.
According to an ITV spokesperson, The Tower was well-loved by its audience, but the viewing figures for the last season did not meet expectations. As a result, the network has decided not to renew the show for another season. The series, which followed the detectives of a serious crime team in central London, was originally based on author Kate London's Met Police series and was a huge success when it first aired in November 2021, with over 5.5 million viewers.
However, the third season faced a decline in viewership, dropping over a million viewers in just four episodes. This decrease in viewership ultimately led to the network's decision to cancel the show. This news may come as a disappointment to some, especially since the show's writer, Patrick Harbinson, had already begun working on a fourth season. He had even stated in an interview that he was already writing the first episode to show ITV that they were ready to continue the series.
Gemma Whelan, who played DS Sarah Collins in the show, was also hoping to continue her role in future seasons. She had even encouraged fans to tune in and support the show. However, despite the efforts of the cast and crew, the show will not be returning for a fourth season. The Tower's cancellation has left many feeling disappointed, as there were still many stories to be told and explored in the world of crime in England.
But all hope is not lost, as the previous seasons of The Tower are still available to stream on ITVX. So for those who have not yet watched the show, now is the perfect time to catch up and see what all the hype was about. And who knows, with enough support and demand, maybe the network will reconsider and bring back the beloved crime drama for another season. As the saying goes, never say never.
