‘Grantchester’ Season 7 Gets Trailer & March Premiere On ITV
Ecclesiastical crime-solving returns to ITV, as the UK broadcaster sets a March premiere date for Season 7 of ‘Grantchester‘.
This series returns with Robson Green as DI Geordie Keating and Tom Brittney as Grantchester’s Reverend Will Davenport, and picks things up in the long hot summer of 1959, where wedding season is in full swing in the Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester.
As the Reverend Will Davenport unites happy couples in holy matrimony, Detective Inspective Geordie Keating is busy as ever investigating a range of local murder cases. 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.
Alongside Green and Davenport, the series sees Tessa Peake-Jones returns as Mrs. Chapman, Al Weaver as Leonard Finch, Kacey Ainsworth as Cathy Keating, Oliver Dimsdale as Daniel Marlowe, Nick Brimble as Jack Chapman, Melissa Johns as Miss Scott and Bradley Hall as Larry Peters.

The Executive Producer for MASTERPIECE is Rebecca Eaton at GBH Boston. Richard Cookson returns to produce the series with Rob Evans directing.

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.
