Season 5 of Drifters has been cancelled?

Throughout its four seasons, the series averaged 0.5 million viewers each episode. Despite this, the show was met with mixed reactions. The show was accused of taking an unrealistic approach to life’s challenges. Knappett, on the other hand, believes that the majority of the storey is true and based on his own experiences. Some even went so far as to declare the show slow and the characters weak.

All of the criticism forced E4 to cancel the show. Despite the fact that viewers had anticipated the renewal. By 2019, E4 had not made a final choice. As a result, Knappett decided to cancel the show entirely.
