There'll be more Morse in 2018, as the popular prequel series Endeavour gets an episode order increase from four to six episodes. But that's only the beginning of the good news as 1968 rolls in.

It may have taken until the end of August for Season 4 of the Inspector Morse prequel, starring Shaun Evans, to arrive on our shores, but over in the UK, ITV was already forging ahead with filming Endeavour Season 5 before summer was out. With original spin-off Lewis now completed after nine seasons, keeping Morse-related series on the air seems like a a priority for the BBC's main rival.
