ITV axes Grantchester after 11 years
Earlier today (July 8), it was confirmed that Grantchester is returning to screens for its 11th and final series. Filming for the final episodes has already begun. The air date for the last series will be announced in due course.
Confirming the end of Grantchester, the series’ creator and writer, Daisy Coulam, said: “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.”
They added: “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.”
