ITV crime drama Grantchester will return for a seventh season, with a release date potentially much sooner than you’d think.
Adapted from the fictional Grantchester Mysteries novels by James Runcie (set in the real-life village Grantchester), the series was renewed for season seven and began filming before season six even aired, with Tom Brittney stepping behind the camera to direct an episode.
Speaking about the return to filming – and his move behind the camera – Brittney said: “I’m thrilled to be back on set with my Grantchester family and back in our happy place. I’m also absolutely over the moon to be given the opportunity to direct an episode this series, it’s been a life ambition of mine and I can’t wait for the audience to see it (and also I can finally order Robson about!).”
Robson Green added: “Great to be back in the world we all refer to as our ‘HAPPY PLACE.’ This new series is the best yet and is testament to the outstanding creative team that make this extraordinary, likeable, charming and entertaining tale what it is…Class!”

The season seven synopsis reads: “With a new decade just around the corner, the question of what the future holds is on everyone’s minds, not least Will’s, but before the 50s roll over into the swinging sixties there are some crimes to solve and some life-changing decisions to be made that might change life in Grantchester forever.”
