"We went out on a bang! Shame nevertheless. It was a great roll, a terrific cast and crew firing on all cylinders. So, onwards!" series director Jon East tweeted.
The BBC reported ITV issued a statement saying the show has been a success since it began airing in 2009. However, "The commissioning team continue to refresh the channel's drama portfolio, hence the decision not to commission beyond the fourth series."
