Grantchester fans tuning in tonight are in for a shock, because the beloved ITV drama has vanished from its usual Wednesday night slot.
If you were expecting your weekly trip to Grantchester at 9pm on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, you’ll instead find a noticeable gap in the schedules.
So what’s going on, and when can you catch the next episode? Here’s the full story.

Why is Grantchester not on tonight?
Grantchester has been bumped from its regular slot to make way for Ben Shephard’s brand new reality series The Summit.
The Summit launched on Tuesday night with its first episode and continues tonight with episode 2. The show will now air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout its eight-episode run.
Exactly why ITV decided to move Grantchester from its established primetime position remains unclear. ED! has contacted ITV for comment and is awaiting a response.
Fans already frustrated by the drama’s shifting schedule have even more reason to feel aggrieved, as the series has also been axed. Series 11, due in 2027, will be the final chapter.
Series 10 originally began with episodes on Wednesday and Thursday (January 07 and 09) before settling back into Wednesdays. Since then it had aired weekly on Wednesdays, until this latest change affected the final two episodes of the season.
When is the next episode of Grantchester on?
Grantchester episode 7 – the penultimate episode of series 10 – will now air on Thursday, February 12, 2026 at 9pm on ITV1.
This week in Grantchester, Cathy and Mrs Chapman throw themselves into their new fashion boutique venture, with the team helping out at a promotional photoshoot.
But things quickly spiral. A leery photographer, a designer with her own agenda and a group of haughty models make the job far bigger than expected.
When the photographer is found dead on site, the business is thrown into chaos. Meanwhile, Geordie sets out to track down Alphy’s mother…
