'Grantchester' Season 3 Comes to Masterpiece in June

Good news for mystery fans! The new season of popular period mystery Grantchester will air in the U.S. this June. The drama’s third season will begin on Sunday, June 18 at 9pm. (So mark your calendars now!)

Stars James Norton and Robson Green will be back as the crime-solving duo of vicar Sidney Chambers and his partner Detective Inspector Geordie Keating. The drama is based on the “Grantchester Mysteriesbooks author James Runcie, and Season 3 will likely map to the third novel in the series, Sidney Chambers and the Problem of Evil.

When we left things at the end of Season 2, we were all left wondering what would happen between Sidney and Amanda, now that she has left her husband. (And the two have declared their very obvious feelings for one another.) New Archdeacon Gabriel Atubo reminds Sidney that as clergyman he must put duty above his own needs and lead by example. But given the strength of his feelings for Amanda, is this something that Sidney can do? Sidney’s moral dilemma here will likely be a large part of this season.
