A second series, with a Christmas special, began airing at the end of 2022, with a third series following in autumn of 2024.
Now, Davies has teased that the show will continue in an interview on The One Show.
He said: "I've been told I'm not allowed to say much, but all I can tell you is, it's not over.
"The Cleaner is not finished, we're working on something.
"I'll be writing, yes, but I am not allowed to tell you what form it's in."
The series is based on the German comedy Der Tatortreiniger (Crime Scene Cleaner).
It also stars Zita Sattar as PS Ruth Edwards, a police officer and close friend (later girlfriend) of Wicky.
Guest stars in the show over the years have included names such as Helena Bonham Carte and David Mitchell.
The show is rated a 7.1/10 on IMDb, from more than 8,000 reviews.
One review said it had a "great mix of humour and depth", with another saying it was a "great new comedy".
BBC drama being rebooted on Channel 5
The Cleaner is not the only BBC show that is returning to screens.
Monarch of the Glen is a comedy drama that ran for seven series between 2000 and 2005.
The majority of the Scottish show told the story of young restaurateur Archie MacDonald trying to restore his childhood home in the Scottish Highlands.
Now, it is rumoured that the show is be being brought back with a "fresh reimagining".
The fresh take on the classic show will see Archie replaced with a female lead character, the Sun reports.
Alastair McKenzie played the lead on the original BBC version, starring in 43 episodes, with series loosely based on Sir Compton Mackenzie's Highland Novels, set in the same location but in the 1930s and 1940s.
Channel 5 has yet to announce who will star in the revival, but sources told the publisher that it will be an entirely new cast.
