Grantchester crew canât avoid a dead body.
Perhaps thatâs the reason for the serious expressions on the faces of stars Robson Green and Tom Brittney in the above publicity photo for Season 6 of the British mystery series, which premieres on PBS on Sunday, October 3.
The season consists of eight episodes, instead of the usual six, airing weekly through November 21. In the season opener, police detective Geordie Keating (Green) and Rev. Will Davenport (Brittney) are enjoying themselves at a holiday camp in 1958 â with Geordieâs family and Willâs vicarage cohorts â when thereâs a tragic death.
Naturally, Geordie and Will use their sleuthing skills to advance the investigation, but the events that unfold on their trip wonât be something they can leave behind when they return to Grantchester. If the photo above is any indication, however, weâll at least get to see Will without his clerical collar for a bit.
