Grantchester star Tom Brittney has quit the popular and long-running ITV series after five years in the role of Reverend Will Davenport. The actor has played the much-loved character alongside Robson Green's Geordie since 2019.
Filming is currently underway on the ninth series of Grantchester, and Tom has confirmed the season will be his last as he is stepping back from his role to focus on new projects. Tom said: "I've had the most incredible time playing Will Davenport for the last five years.
"I got to solve crimes with my best friend, and work with the best cast and crew I could ever ask for. I'll miss it more than anything. But it’s time for the baton to be passed, as it once was to me, and I’m so excited for Rishi to join the Grantchester family."
