The crime-solving duo Will and Geordie are back on our TV screens for a brand new series set in the summer of 1959. The ITV detective drama will start this March as we return to the Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester for series seven.
The drama - which first started in 2014 and originally saw James Norton in the title role of the Reverend of Grantchester - is based on a series of novels called The Grantchester Mysteries and the seventh instalment will see us rejoin the characters just before the start of the swinging sixties.
ITV have teased what could be in store for the much-loved villagers, saying there will be some "life-changing decisions to be made" in this latest series. As Rev Will Davenport will be uniting happy couples, whilst DI Geordie Keating is busy investigating a case involving a string of local murders.

Grantchester series seven cast
Tom Brittney will be reprising his role as Grantchester’s Reverend Will Davenport but he also got to try his hand at directing an episode in this new six-part series, speaking of the experience he said: "It was amazing! It was one of the most fun experiences I’ve had on a set, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do since I was young, I finally got a chance to do it.
"I couldn’t have asked for a better cast and crew to work with, they’re all my best friends and my family and we all really helped each other through the experience. I was worried beforehand that I might not know what I was doing or that I might have been in too deep but I never felt like that but it all went a lot smoother than I’d anticipated."
