Rishi Nair to replace Tom Brittney as Grantchester’s future is confirmed

‘Grantchester’ has been renewed for a 10th season. The long-running detective drama series, which airs in both the US and the UK, has been commissioned for another run, with Robson Green returning as DI Georgie Keating.

Masterpiece executive producer Susanne Simpson expressed her delight: “I couldn’t be happier to recommission ‘Grantchester’ for a 10th season. This is hands down one of our most popular series, and I know the fans will be thrilled to see it continue with the outstanding Robson Green and Rishi Nair back for more crime-solving.”

Season nine, which is currently airing in the US and will come to the UK at a later date, marks the end of Tom Brittney’s time on the show as Will Davenport. In his place, Rishi Nair’s Vicar Alphy Kottaram, who first appeared in the ninth series, will take the lead alongside Robson Green.

In addition to Rishi and Robson, other returning stars include Al Weaver, Kacey Ainsworth, Oliver Dimsdale, Tessa Peake-Jones, Bradley Hall, Nick Brimble, and Melissa Jones.

Writer and executive producer Daisy Coulam commented: “This show is a testament to our lovely team — the cast and crew. I’m so grateful and proud that we get to come back together for our 10th season and another glorious summer in Grantchester.”

Robson Green previously expressed amazement at the show’s global popularity. In December, he told the Daily Mirror: “I just came back from doing a fishing show in Australia. In the outback, I was with what I’d call really stereotypical Australian blokes, who told me ‘Grantchester’ was their favourite show! Wow. I feel honoured and privileged to be part of something that is enjoyed around the world.”

The new season of ‘Grantchester’ promises to continue delivering the compelling mysteries and beloved characters that have captivated audiences for nearly a decade.
