The Australian medical drama Harrow thrilled through its first three seasons on the air, but will there ever be a season 4 of the gripping procedural?

The Australian medical drama series Harrow has enjoyed three successful seasons, but will there be a season 4? Debuting on Australia's ABC network in 2018, the series follows a forensic pathologist named Dr. Daniel Harrow (Ioan Gruffudd), who uses his special set of scientific skills to solve a variety of mysterious cases. Acclaimed for its deft balance of procedural storylines with overarching character drama, Harrow isn't a typical cozy mystery series. It invests a lot of time in the personal lives of its heroes. However, the mysteries still crackle with excitement each week, and Gruffudd's performance has been especially praised.

Mixing the familiar charm of the usual cozy mystery series that permeate Australian TV with the weekly drama of shows like Grey's Anatomy, Harrow stands head and shoulders above the usual medical procedurals. With a cast of notable names and fast-paced writing, Harrow has not only seen the titular doctor solve a slew of cases, but audiences have seen him grow and change along the way. Generally ranked highly among the best Australian shows on Hulu, its U.S. streaming home, Harrow is the type of series that could continue far beyond the long-awaited fourth season and grow into a TV institution.

Harrow Season 4 Is Not Confirmed

Though several years have passed since the conclusion of Harrow season 3, no word has come regarding a potential fourth season. The exhilarating third season concluded back in April 2021, and with over two years in between, Harrow season 4 has yet to materialize. Fortunately for fans of the series, the show hasn't been officially canceled yet either, and it hasn't necessarily followed a strict year-to-year schedule in the past. Nearly two years elapsed between season 2 and season 3 of Harrow, though that was due to COVID-19 pandemic delays. Harrow now exists in a state of limbo having been neither confirmed nor canceled.

Harrow Season 4 Release Date Info

While nothing concerning Harrow season 4 is confirmed, it isn't impossible to speculate about when the show would be released if it was given the green light for more episodes. Though not exactly set on a strict pattern, all three seasons of Harrow have debuted between the months of February and May. As such, if season 4 of Harrow was to happen, it would most likely see its release sometime around the first quarter of the year. Because of that, early 2024 is the closest possible time for it to return, though there seems to be no indication that it is coming back any time soon.

Harrow Season 4 Cast

The best medical dramas usually live and die by their cast, and Harrow is certainly no exception. Though no official cast for Harrow season 4 has been released, it is highly likely that the show's namesake would once again be the center of the story, which means that Ioan Gruffudd would return as Dr. Daniel Harrow. Taking a much larger role in season 3, Jolene Anderson would also likely co-star in season 4 as Dr. Grace Molyneux, who has struck up an intimate relationship with the titular doctor.

Supporting cast members are more difficult to nail down, though it is highly likely that Miriama Smith would return as Renae Warrington and continue to vex the doctors with her difficult quotas. Additionally, supporting stars like Darren Gilshenan as Lyle Ridgewell Livingston Fairley, Damien Garvey as Bryan Nichols, and Ella Newton as Fern Harrow could be expected because they have appeared in the series since the beginning. Though he was revealed not to be Daniel's son at the end of season 3, Harrison Gilbertson might return as James Reed in order to explore the fallout of that shocking revelation.

Harrow Season 4 Story Details

Procedural shows like Harrow typically don't carry over too much from season to season when it comes to story, and overarching narratives are typically wrapped up in exciting season finales. Harrow season 3 seemed to close the book on the saga with James Reed, and season 4 would likely introduce another personal conflict in Dr. Harrow's life for him to grapple with. Along with the interpersonal drama that makes the show so interesting, season 4 of Harrow can be expected to follow the mystery-of-the-week formula where Daniel uses his unmatched medical expertise to solve the crimes that stump his detective colleagues.
