Will Grantchester have a season 10?

ITV has confirmed that Grantchester will be returning for a series 10, with actors Robson Green and Rishi Nair back as DI Geordie Keating and Reverend Alphy Kottaram.

In 2024, Masterpiece executive producer Susanne Simpson said: "I couldn't be happier to recommission Grantchester for a 10th season."

She added: "This is hands down one of our most popular series, and I know the fans will be thrilled to see it continue with the outstanding Robson Green and Rishi Nair back for more crime solving."

When can I watch series 10?

Season 10 of filming is set to commence in July 2025, so we can expect it on out screens in January 2026.

Although this isn't set in stone, the series historically starts in the first week or two of the new year.

What happened in series 9?

In the latest series of the detective drama set and filmed in Grantchester, Geordie said a sad farewell to his pal and sidekick, the Reverend Will Davenport.

The popular Rev left the village - and a heartbroken Geordie behind - after taking on a new role in Newcastle. Wanting to make a real difference, he bade an emotional farewell to his friends after several years.

His wife Bonnie, played by Charlotte Ritchie, also left Grantchester, with their baby James George.

Their last scenes were in episode 2 of Grantchester series 9. In episode 3, Rishi Nair's Alphy Kotteram made QUITE the entrance as the new vicar.

The actor said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining Grantchester. The welcome and support I've received from everyone has been overwhelming. The success of the show and the reason we are here for a ninth season is a testament to all the people that have previously worked on it."

He added: "I'm really excited to get started and cannot wait for the Grantchester fans to meet Alphy and to see all that's in store for him."

Who's in the cast of series 10?

Soldier Soldier actor Robson Green will return as DI Geordie Keating in the cast of Grantchester series 9. Former Hollyoaks star Rishi Nair will also be back as "witty" and "charismatic" Reverend Alphy Kottaram.

The other favourites tipped to return include Al Weaver as Leonard Finch, Tessa Peake-Jones as Mrs Chapman, Kacey Ainsworth as Cathy Keating, and Nick Brimble as Jack Chapman.

Oliver Dimsdale is expected to return as Daniel Marlowe, as is Bradley Hall as Larry Peters, and Melissa Johns as Miss Scott.

Is Robson Green leaving Grantchester?

Robson Green, who has played DI Geordie Keating since series 1 in 2014, has spoken about his role in future series of Grantchester. In fact, he has made it clear he has no plans to leave any time soon.

When asked if he ever gets tempted to leave the show, like co-stars James Norton and Tom Brittney, Robson made it clear he was happy to stay.

Robson, who is also executive producer of Grantchester, explained: "I never get itchy feet because I'm at a stage in my life where I want to work with people who make me genuinely happy, in front of the lens and behind it.

"I'm not chasing awards. I'm not chasing fame. I'm just being present in a very enjoyable and healthy environment, and that's what Grantchester is. It's one of the nicest jobs I have ever done in my career."

In an interview with TVGuide.co.uk, he added: "I'm very blessed that I can do other stuff. I do documentaries and I do other dramas. Why would I want to leave? I never take one second of Grantchester for granted."

Grantchester series 10 is expected to land on ITV in January 2026.
