Why is Grantchester not on TV today?

The show returned for its 10th series earlier this year, if you can believe it. Originally making its debut back in 2014, more than a decade ago, it has been a firm fixture on the ITV schedule since.
Grantchester is usually broadcast on Wednesday evenings. However, for those who switch on at 9pm today (February 11) are in for a rude surprise.
The ITV drama has been moved due to the start of the new reality competition The Summit. Having debuted last night (February 10), it will return at 9pm this evening.
It means that Grantchester has been pushed from the schedule. But it will be back very soon.
When is Grantchester on TV next?
The historical murder-mystery series will return tomorrow (February 12). It will start at 9pm on Thursday evening, it has been confirmed.
Grantchester’s 10th series is available in full on ITVX, for those who don’t want to wait. The preview for the next episode, via Radio Times, reads: “Cathy and Mrs Chapman embark on their new fashion boutique venture as the gang help with a promotional photoshoot.
“However, they may have underestimated the size of the task given a leery photographer, a designer with her own agenda and haughty models. When the dead body of their photographer turns up onsite, it throws the business into disarray. Elsewhere, Geordie tries to track down Alphy's mother.”

Who has left the show over the years?
Now in its 10th series, Grantchester has been on the air since 2014 - including a Christmas special back in 2016. In its many years, the show has seen plenty of change when it comes to the cast.
James Norton started out as the original crime solving priest, before departing in the fourth series. Morven Christie played his love interest Amanda Hopkins, who left at the end of series three.
Tom Brittney was the second actor to don the priestly costume of a crime-solving reverend. He played William "Will" Davenport from series four until part way through season nine.
His love interest was played by Charlotte Ritchie - from Fresh Meat and Netflix’s You - who joined in series seven and left along with Tom Brittney in series nine.
Is series 10 the final one?
Grantchester is set to come to an end, but not with this current series. The show has been renewed for an 11th and final season.
Based on the previous release schedule, fans can likely expect the last episodes to arrive in the UK in early 2027. US audiences can expect the final season later this year on PBS.
