Whitechapel star Rupert Penry-Jones has revealed that ITV has cancelled the show.
The actor, who played DI Joseph Chandler in the detective drama, broke the news to his followers on Twitter yesterday (November 16).
Jon East, who directed several episodes of the show's last two series, responded: "We went out on a bang! Shame nevertheless, it was on a great roll, a terrific cast & crew firing on all cylinders. So, onwards!!!!!"
Whitechapel, which also starred Phil Davis and Steve Pemberton, has aired four series since its debut in February 2009. Its last episode aired in October.
Penry-Jones also appears alongside Maxine Peake in legal drama Silk.
