Is Endeavour coming to a close? Star Shaun Evans recently spoke to the Radio Times about season three and what’s next for the British detective drama.
The third season premiered on ITV on January 3rd.
In Endeavour, Evans plays the title character, Detective Endeavour Morse, in his younger days. The series is a prequel to the long-running ITV drama Inspector Morse.
Speaking to the Radio Times, Evans hinted that the third season of Endeavour might be its last. Though there’s been no official word from ITV that the series has been cancelled, Evans did say this season would provide a satisfying ending:
I didn’t feel like we should have left it where we did last time. It would have been odd. As a viewer, I would have been dissatisfied to have left it there because you’d have only been telling half the story. Luckily enough, we had the opportunity to come back to do some more and I think the stories are really good – particularly the final one. It goes along at a lick. It’s a bank heist but it’s also a love story. And it’s heartbreaking. I think it’s great and it ends in a really satisfying way.”
No word on when/if season three of Endeavour will air on PBS.
What do you think? Do you watch Endeavour? Do you think it should end?
This third season resolved the crimes but not the relationships that are the attraction and investments the audience has made in this series, and definitely should go on; it’s like finding a great book and you want it to keep on going.
Endeavour is a brilliantly written mature drama highlighted by intelligent characters with an outstanding cast. The plus is the mystery which is the background for the ongoing growth of it’s characters. I will be sorry to see this quality show go as there are far too few of these gems!
Please bring it back. Best show ever
I cannot understand why ITV would even think of canceling Endeavor. It’s a brilliant show with an outstanding cast. Endeavor was so young; the possibilities were endless.
I, for one, am sad to learn Season 3 is the end.
Why stop a great show there is no better show on TV please keep it going
Maybe because people are not watching i that much. Personally, I found it way too politically correct to enjoy, but thought it had possibilities, but after season two, I gave up., So did a large portion of the audience.
Love Endevour and hope that we get more on PBS. We need great dramas on tv. I understand it has to come to an end eventually but not yet.
Love the show. Please bring it back for many seasons.
I love endeavor!!-it’s so well written and the actors are superb!-please don’t stop!!!
always hate to see a good story go off the air. I’ll miss it, esp. Pheloung’s music which was what made Morse bearable and Lewis that much more enjoyable.
No way! It shouldn’t end, already. Can’t it just last for at least nine seasons in order to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Inspector Morse?
Endeavor is a smart interesting detective series and what kind of an Odd Fellow is paired with a kind of older more experienced detectives that bring him along. I wanted to keep going on for as long as it needs to not just end at the end of season three leaving us all hanging like you did with the paradise.
Endeavor is a superbly written TV mystery. Why oh why would the powers that be on PBS even consider canceling such an intriguing show? There are so few good mysteries on TV and PBS has never let us down by providing a really good one. Please reconsider and give us devoted PBS viewers more ENDEAVOR.
