But who can you expect to see in the remaining episodes? Here’s all you need to know:

What time is Grantchester on today?

Having premiered on PBS in America last year, Grantchester series 10 has finally arrived in the UK. Viewers can catch the tenth series weekly on ITV1.

The show will air weekly on Wednesdays, including today (January 28), on the channel. It is due to start at 9pm, following the new soap power hour.

For those who can’t wait to watch more, Grantchester series 10 is available to watch in full on ITVX right now. All eight episodes are streaming on the platform as of January 7.

The preview for episode 5, via Radio Times, reads: “Leonard's drinking lands him in a prison cell overnight. When he wakes up, the consequences only escalate from there.”

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.
