ITV Sets April Premiere Date For ‘The Durrells’ 4th & Final Season
ITV has set an April premiere date for the 4th and Final Season of ‘The Durrells‘ it has been announced today.
Based on conservationist and author Gerald Durrell’s trilogy of books about his family’s time in Corfu during the 1930s, the fourth series will once again be written by BAFTA award nominee Simon Nye (‘Men Behaving Badly’, ‘Reggie Perrin’) and filmed on the beautiful Greek island. Keeley Hawes (‘The Missing’, ‘Bodyguard’) will reprise her role as matriarch, Louisa Durrell, along with Josh O’Connor (‘Les Miserables’), Callum Woodhouse (‘Cold Feet’), Daisy Waterstone (‘And Then There Were None’) and Milo Parker (‘Mr Holmes’) who play her unruly and spirited on-screen children in the ITV drama.
Following the events of the last series, the future is looking bright for the Durrells, with all of the family channelling their heartbreak in different ways. Choosing to keep herself busy, Louisa has opened the doors of the family villa as a guest house, but with Basil as their only paying guest, the business is still to find its feet and customers.
Meanwhile, Larry (Josh O’Connor), struggling to get his risqué Black Book published, is enjoying the love of two ballet dancers, whilst heartbroken Leslie (Callum Woodhouse) has thrown himself back into his job and shooting. True to form, Gerry (Milo Parker) continues to collect animals, ambitiously planning to open a zoo with a new owl and some lemurs joining the menagerie, and Margo (Daisy Waterstone) seeks a new challenge, starting her own beauty salon.
Other cast set to return include Alexis Georgoulis (‘My Life In Ruins’) as the charming Spiros, Miles Jupp (‘Howards End’) as hapless cousin Basil, Anna Savva (‘Genius’) as housekeeper Lugaretzia, Yorgos Karamihos (‘Love Is…’) as Dr. Theo Stephanides and Lucy Black (‘Jericho’) as Florence Petridis.
‘The Durrells‘ Season 4 premieres Sunday, 7th April 2019 at 8pm on ITV.
