I don’t understand why the show has decided not to remain faithful to the second book of stories. I much preferred the first season’s approach to the original material.
So thrilled to learn about Season 3…can’t wait for more Grantchester!
Really happy this show will be renewed. I hope it has many more seasons.
Delighted to know Grantchester will have a third season on Masterpiece. Sydney is a very complex character. I so enjoy watching him come to terms with events in his life. It will be a long wait for the next season.
