Many fans immediately took to the comments to celebrate the news and send Green their messages of thanks for the series.

“Brilliant programme,” one person penned, while a second said: “I so can’t wait - very happily watching the re-runs on a weekend.”

However, some UK fans were quick to point out that series nine is still yet to air on ITV, despite it having been released in America via Masterpiece PBS this summer.

“Looking forward to the new series in the UK,” shared one person, while another said more frustratedly: “Still waiting to watch the last one !! It’s an English show, so why are our friends across [the pond] seeing it first??”

Series nine of Grantchester is expected to air in the UK in 2025, meaning series 10 is quite possibly very far away from broadcast.

In the ninth series, viewers will have the bittersweet experience of saying goodbye to Rev. Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) and welcoming a brand new priest-turned-investigator Rev. Alphy Kotteram (Rishi Nair).

The synopsis for series nine of the show explains how early in the series, Rev. Davenport will receive a “life-changing offer” meaning its time for him to depart the show and for a new vicar to arrive in his place.

Describing Rev. Kotteram’s arrival in the mystery-filled village, the synopsis continues: “Reverend Alphy Kotteram has an instinctive distrust for authority and absolutely no desire to get involved in murder investigations. But Alphy and Geordie will discover they have a lot more in common than they first think, and Alphy will find that in Grantchester, murder is never far away.

“From deadly circuses, abandoned babies, and hostile historians to vanishing valets and murderous satirists. Together, Geordie and Alphy witness first-hand how religion can be corrupted, but also how faith, love and friendship can offer hope - and renewal.”

Grantchester series nine will air on ITV and ITVX in 2025. Series 10 is now filming and will air in the future.
