Endeavour is returning for its ninth and final series. The Morse prequel, starring Shaun Evans in the title role of DS Endeavour Morse and Roger Allam as DCI Fred Thursday, will make its comeback on Sunday, February 26.
Endeavour first aired on ITV as a single film in January 2012 and season 8 aired in the UK in September 2021, so the ninth and final series has been a long time coming. The final instalment of the drama, which was filmed in and around Oxford, is set in the summer of 1972.
A synopsis reads: "Two unexplained deaths seem to lead to the Oxford Concert Orchestra, while a body discovered in a derelict warehouse stokes fears that 'London business' involving the criminal underworld has again found its way to Oxford. Thursday and Endeavour’sinvestigation unearths some unsettling connections to cases the duo believed were well and truly behind them."
