Grantchester will be back! Deadline reports the ITV show has been renewed for a fifth season.
The UK drama, which airs on PBS in the U.S., is set in 1950s England and centers on a detective who teams up with an Anglican vicar to solve crimes. The cast includes James Norton, Robson Green, Morven Christie, Tessa Peake-Jones, Al Weaver, and Kacey Ainsworth.
Season four of Grantchester is slated to debut on PBS on July 14th at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Notably, this will be James Norton’s last season. You can read more about the season five renewal from Deadline below:
Season 5 will pick up in Cambridge in 1957, a year after the current fourth season in which Prime Minister Harold MacMillan told the British people that they had “never had it so good.” For many of the residents of Grantchester, it really will feel like they’re in a delightful new Eden, but for all the talk of paradise on earth and faith-in-action, Geordie (Green) knows that trouble is never far away.”
What do you think? Do you watch Grantchester? Will you watch season five?
I just finished watching Season 4 and was pleasantly pleased with the entire series. I am happy to see that the program will be picked up for renewal. All of the actors are quite good and I enjoyed the different story lines. I give it a 5 star rating!
