Series eleven is currently in production in the UK

ITV has announced that Grantchester will return for its eleventh series. Filming began earlier this week (w/c 7 July), and it has been confirmed that this series will conclude the show after 11 years on air.

Based on the Grantchester Mysteries novels by James Runcie, the period drama centres on a crime-solving clergyman and was developed for television by Daisy Coulam. For series 11, the writers include Coulam, Richard Cookson, Nessah Muthy, and Maya Sondhi. The directors are Rob Evans and Chloe Thomas, with Dan Kay serving as the producer.

In the upcoming drama, Robson Green reprises his role as Geordie, joined by Rishi Nair as Alphy.

Coulam, writer, series creator and executive producer, stated: “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. Thank you 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.” 

Emma Kingsman-Lloyd, executive producer for Kudos, added: “We are absolutely delighted to be returning for another series of Grantchester adventures. After eleven incredible series, and the most wonderful experiences with a fantastic cast and crew, we have decided to bid a very fond farewell to our favourite crime-fighting duo.

“Audiences are in for the most ambitious and thrilling series yet – Geordie and Alphy are going out with a bang!” 

Grantchester is produced for ITV by Kudos and Masterpiece. The series is executive produced by Kingsman-Lloyd, along with Coulam, Green, and Nair for Kudos. Susanne Simpson and Rebecca Eaton serve as executive producers for Masterpiece.
