The article is heavily skewed towards discussing its screening within America. The fact that international distribution is already handled separately (by ITV Studios) is a throwaway line at the very bottom of the article. They can’t just withdraw those rights unilaterally, unless they want a big lawsuit on their hands. If they have already sold the international rights, they can only control who/when/if the show screens in America.
It looks as if they won’t allow season 4 out of the can in America unless a buyer takes the 3 seasons already screened as well. This will be to push the price up, but it potentially makes the property less valuable to a broadcaster less interested in stuff that’s now several years old.
