Is there a Grantchester series 11?
Well, there’s good news and bad news for fans. ITV has now confirmed that crime drama Grantchester will be returning for a series 11. However, the news is bittersweet as it will also be the last series.
Writer, series creator and executive producer, Daisy said: “At its heart, Grantchester is a show about the power of friendship and love. We’ve been so lucky over the last 11 series to experience that on and off screen. For over a decade now – cast and crew (many who’ve been there since the beginning) have met each summer to film. And it’s been an absolute joy.
“Thank you to James Runcie for entrusting us with his characters, and to the lovely people of real Grantchester. Thank you to everyone who’s been a part of the show in any way – big or small. I’ll miss you terribly.”
What is the plot?
Grantchester series 11 joins Geordie and Alphy in the heady Summer of ’63. Alphy is learning more about his past. He comes to realise that there is a whole other life he could have led, making him question who he is and what he believes in. He’s also continuing to get to know Meg, the Bishop’s daughter…
A synopsis continues: “Geordie, for once, is positively brimming with bonhomie! He’s learned to weather the storms of life and is enjoying a time of relative peace. Cathy’s happy now that CeCe’s Fashion Boutique is a success, and the kids are old enough to look after themselves!
“But then, out of the blue, the Chief Superintendent comes to Geordie with a beguiling offer. It could be a chance for Geordie to finally be in charge, but it could also mean an end of his crime solving days. And his crime solving partnership with Alphy… ”
Meanwhile, Leonard finds himself with time on his hands during a quiet period at the halfway house. He takes the opportunity to take stock of his own life and whether he’s doing enough with it. When one of Daniel’s neighbours becomes ill, Leonard is drawn into helping care for the neighbour’s son Raymond – and discovers a paternal side to himself he never knew he had.”
The synopsis concludes: “In Grantchester series 11 everyone will question the paths they are on, and some huge decisions will be made. This season will look at family, forgiveness, identity, and faith. Big changes are coming to Grantchester…”
