Hit British period drama Grantchester is to conclude with Season 11 on PBS Masterpiece and ITV.
The show has been running for a decade on the two networks. It stars Robson Green as Geordie Keating with Rishi Nair as Alphy Kottaram, Al Weaver as Leonard Finch, Tessa Peake-Jones as Mrs. C, Kacey Ainsworth as Cathy Keating, Oliver Dimsdale as Daniel Marlowe, Nick Brimble as Jack Chapman, Bradley Hall as DC Larry Peters and Melissa Johns as Miss Scott.
Daisy Coulam, writer, series creator and executive producer, said: “At its heart, Grantchester is a show about the power of friendship and love. We’ve been so lucky over the last 11 series to experience that on and off screen. For over a decade now – cast and crew (many who’ve been there since the beginning) have met each Summer to film. And it’s been an absolute joy. Thank you to James Runcie for entrusting us with his characters. Thank you to the lovely people of real Grantchester. Thank you to everyone who’s been a part of the show in any way – big or small. I’ll miss you terribly.”

Rishi Nair came to Grantchester in Season 9 as the latest crime-solving vicar, Alphy Kottaram, and will close out the series.
“Grantchester has been one of the rare series that has a certain magic to everything about it,” added Susanne Simpson, Masterpiece Head of Scripted Content and Executive Producer. “The show has found its way into the hearts of countless Masterpiece viewers with its warmth, humor, and sense of community. It has been a joy to work with the brilliant team – producers, writer, cast and crew –behind Grantchester and I cannot thank them enough for their talent and dedication. We are so proud to have been a part of this extraordinary partnership for so long.”
