The tenth season of Cambridgeshire crime drama Grantchester comes to an end tonight
The tenth series of Grantchester has been captivating ITV audiences in recent weeks, but it’s due to conclude tonight (Thursday, February 19).
The British crime drama first aired in 2014 and centred on Anglican vicar Sidney Chambers (James Norton), who probed a series of enigmatic misdeeds in his quaint Cambridgeshire village. Sidney embarked on his detective escapades alongside Detective Inspector Geordie Keating (Robson Green).
Over the years, Geordie has teamed up with several vicars, including Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney), and most recently, Alphy Kottaram (Rishi Nair).
Geordie and Alphy launched into several new investigations when the show made its return to ITV for its tenth series last month. In addition to cracking cases, there have also been some poignant revelations, including Alphy tearfully reading a letter penned by his mother when she put him up for adoption, reports the Mirror.

These heart-wrenching scenes moved viewers to tears, with one individual posting on X (formerly Twitter): “What another brilliant, heartbreaking and heartwarming episode of #Grantchester. Top performances from all the cast. I’m absolutely broken.”
Another chimed in: “I’m in absolute bits. Absolutely broke me,” whilst others have lauded the cast’s compelling performances.
One viewer praised: “Once again, Robson Green knocking it out of the park tonight,” whilst another commented: “Honestly #Grantchester is up there with the best on TV with great performances. I have no idea why @ITV @itvstudios @masterpiecepbs are ending it.”
Grantchester has captivated audiences each week and will undoubtedly leave a significant void when the final episode broadcasts at 9pm this evening. Ahead of the last series airing next year, ITV executives have revealed what will replace Grantchester in the Thursday evening slot.
The opening instalment of True Crime Presents’ second series, Murder on a Knife’s Edge, is scheduled to commence at 9pm on Thursday, 26 February.

It will focus on the case of Wayne Coventry, who pursued romance following 18 years with his childhood sweetheart, but the 37-year-old father-of-three became embroiled in a destructive relationship, and was tragically killed in October 2019.
The debut series of True Crime Presents aired last year, delivering compelling and perceptive contributions from victims and witnesses about a series of devastating murders.
The original ten episodes examined numerous harrowing cases, including the deaths of EastEnders actress Gemma McCluskie and 17-year-old Shafilea Ahmed.
Since its release, the show has been lauded by fans. One IMDb user commented: “Quite a decent documentary series. Experts and witnesses given an in-depth analysis on five different murders… The stories are all engaging, some you may know quite well, while others may be new to you.”
Murder on a Knife’s Edge: True Crime Presents premieres at 9pm on Thursday, February 26 on ITV1, while Grantchester is available to stream on ITVX
