Tom Brittney Joins The Clergy In ‘Grantchester’ Season 4
‘Grantchester‘ has found it’s new clergy to replace the outgoing James Norton it has been announced. Tom Brittney, will join the show as Reverend Will Davenport, the new crime-solving partner to Robson Green’s Geordie Keating.
A man of the people, confident, caring and self-assured, Grantchester’s young, new parish priest Will Davenport channels his boundless energy into a quest for social justice. He is a man of God, but with the devil inside of him. As Geordie draws him into righting the wrongs of criminal Cambridge, Will’s own troubled past is unearthed.
Tom Brittney has been a familiar face to tv viewers over the last few years, having starred in Sky One’s ‘The Five’, and epic highlander series ‘Outlander’. He’s also popped up in episodes of ‘Humans’, ‘UnREAL’, ‘Call the Midwife’, ‘Casualty’, and (like any hard-working British actor) ‘Doctors’.
“I am beyond excited,” commented Brittney. “From the moment I heard about the role of Will Davenport, it was something I wanted more than anything. It’s a real honour to be joining such a wonderful series, with such a loyal fan base.”
“As excited as I am to be filming a new series of Grantchester, it’s also heartbreaking to be saying goodbye to Sidney Chambers,” adds James Norton, who plays the charismatic, jazz-loving clergyman, Sidney Chambers, and will make his final appearance during this fourth series. “I’ve loved this experience, and particularly working with such an extraordinary cast and crew. All the best to the fantastic Tom Brittney in his role as the new vicar. He is a wonderful addition to the Grantchester family.”
‘Grantchester‘ Season 4 is a co-production of Kudos and MASTERPIECE for ITV and is distributed internationally by Endemol Shine International who has sold the show across 162 countries. No news on an air date yet, but production began in London, Cambridge, and Grantchester in June 2018.
