Adapted from the fictional\u00a0Grantchester Mysteries novels<\/a> by James Runcie (set in the real-life village Grantchester), the series was\u00a0renewed for season seven<\/a>\u00a0and began filming before season six even aired, with Tom Brittney stepping behind the camera to direct an episode.<\/p>\n Speaking about the return to filming \u2013 and his move behind the camera \u2013\u00a0Brittney said: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be back on set with my Grantchester family and back in our happy place. I\u2019m also absolutely over the moon to be given the opportunity to direct an episode this series, it\u2019s been a life ambition of mine and I can\u2019t wait for the audience to see it (and also I can finally order Robson about!).\u201d<\/p>\n Robson Green added: \u201cGreat to be back in the world we all refer to as our \u2018HAPPY PLACE.\u2019 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\u2026Class!\u201d<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about Grantchester season seven.<\/p>\n Filming for Grantchester season seven got underway in July 2021, suggesting we could see the seventh season on our screens in the first half of 2022.<\/p>\n It seems clear that Tom Brittney and Robson Green will each reprise their roles as Reverend Will Davenport<\/a> and his crime-solving partner DI Geordie Keating respectively.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll also hopefully see the return of Jemma Redgrave (Amelia Davenport), Nick Brimble (Jack Chapman), Tessa Peake-Jones (Mrs. Sylvia Maguire\/Chapman), Al Weaver (Leonard Finch), Kacey Ainsworth (Cathy Keating), Bradley Hall (DC Larry Peters), and Skye Lucia Degruttola (Esme Keating).<\/p>\n The season seven synopsis reads: \u201cWith a new decade just around the corner, the question of what the future holds is on everyone\u2019s minds, not least Will\u2019s, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n There\u2019s no trailer yet for Grantchester season seven.
