‘Grantchester’ Season 6 Gets September Premiere On ITV

Ecclesiastical crime-solving returns to ITV, as the UK broadcaster sets a September premiere date for Season 6 of Grantchester.

The 6th Season will see Robson Green return as DI Geordie Keating and Tom Brittney as Grantchester’s Reverend Will Davenport, as the series resumes in 1958 with the crime-fighting duo renewing their partnership to solve new cases.

The 6th Season will see trouble brewing in the Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester. Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) relishes his role as a firebrand vicar, willing to rock the boat and challenge conventions to help people. But the very role he loves put him at odds with his own ideals when his kind-hearted curate, Leonard Finch (Al Weaver) is caught up in a scandal. Will’s best friend, Detective Inspector Geordie Keating (Robson Green), finds his principles shaken, housekeeper Mrs Chapman (Tessa Peake-Jones) is distraught, and Geordie’s wife Cathy (Kacey Ainsworth) is defiant. With new crimes around every corner, and morality and legality at loggerheads, it’s going to take all of Will’s skill and empathy to navigate these choppy waters and help the ones he loves.

As we head into episode one, the vicarage family and the Keatings are on a much-needed summer break at Merries Holiday Camp – only for it to turn into something of a busman’s holiday for Will and Geordie, when the camp’s owner Roy Reeves is found dead in suspicious circumstances. Between unhappily married guests, frustrated entertainment staff and Roy’s put upon wife, Will and Geordie discover almost everyone had a grudge against Roy. Behind the smiles and jolly holiday façade of Merries lays a much less wholesome reality.

The series is executive produced for Kudos, part of Banijay UK, by Emma Kingsman-Lloyd (‘Deadwater Fell’, ‘Humans’) and by writer and series creator Daisy Coulam (‘Deadwater Fell’, ‘Humans’). The Executive Producer for MASTERPIECE is Rebecca Eaton at GBH Boston. Richard Cookson returns to produce the series with Rob Evans directing.

Adapted from the Grantchester Mysteries novels by James Runcie, the series was developed for television by Daisy Coulam. The new series will be written by Daisy Coulam, John Jackson (‘Trust’, ‘Curfew’), Louise Ironside (‘The Split’, ‘The Tunnel’), Tolula Dada (forthcoming BBC production, ‘Red Rose’) and producer, Richard Cookson.

Grantchester‘ Season 6 premieres Friday, 3rd September 2021 at 9pm on ITV.
