[NEWS] "Grantchester" to finish with 11th season

The couple of changes of the vicar hasn't helped, and they obviously ran out of sensible ideas a while back - there are only six books (plus a prequel book), so they had to start making up their own stories.
    Grantchester axed after 11 seasons reveals ITV
    as star Robson Green thanks everyone who's gone
    on this 'incredible journey'
    ------------------------------------------------
    Grantchester will end after its 11th series, ITV has announced.
    Grantchester, which first aired in 2014, has been one of the
    broadcaster's biggest shows, making a huge star of James Norton,
    who played the original vicar, Sidney Chambers, alongside Robson
    Green's Geordie Keating for the first four seasons.
    Tom Brittney followed as Will Davenport until series nine, with
    Rishi Nair joining as Alphy Kottaram in series nine.
    In the upcoming series, Robson returns as Geordie with Rishi
    Nair as Alphy, 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.
    Star Robson Green said: "From the very beginning, I have had the
    incredible fortune to be part of this extraordinary team of
    talented, passionate, and dedicated individuals who have become
    more than colleagues. They have become family. I have made
    friendships forged through shared laughter, challenges, and
    triumphs.
    "The bonds we've formed extend far beyond the camera lens, and
    I know that they will endure long after the final scene within
    the Grantchester world has been filmed.
    "Thank you to everyone who has been part of this incredible
    journey. Emma Kingsman Lloyd and Daisy Coulam ... from that very
    first day you gave me the extraordinary opportunity to be part of
    this experience. It has been an honour to share in the magic of
    Grantchester, and I am forever grateful for the memories, the
    friendships, and the love that this journey has given me. I hope
    I made you proud."
    Daisy Coulam, writer, series creator and executive producer,
    added: "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."
    Teasing the plot of the final series, ITV says: "It's the heady
    Summer of '63, and Alphy is learning more about his past. He
    comes to realize that there is a whole other life he could have
    led, making him question who he is and what he believes in. He's
    also continuing to get to know Meg, the Bishop's daughter...
    "Geordie, for once, is positively brimming with bonhomie! He's
    learned to weather the storms of life and is enjoying a time of
    relative peace. Cathy's happy now that CeCe's Fashion Boutique is
    a success, and the kids are old enough to look after themselves!
    But then, out of the blue, the Chief Superintendent comes to
    Geordie with a beguiling offer. It could be a chance for Geordie
    to finally be in charge, but it could also mean an end of his
    crime solving days. And his crime solving partnership with
    Alphy...
    "During a quiet period at the halfway house, Leonard finds himself
    with time on his hands, and a chance to take stock of his own life
    and whether he's doing enough with it. When one of Daniel's
    neighbours becomes ill, Leonard is drawn into helping care for the
    neighbour's son Raymond - and discovers a paternal side to himself
    he never knew he had."
    It's not been revealed yet when the final series will air. Filming
    begins this month.
