'Grantchester' Season 6 First Look Teases Will and Geordie On Holiday

With the premiere of Grantchester Season 6 set for this October, Masterpiece is starting to hype the program's return. It will be an expanded year for the series, which will run eight episodes, up two from the usual six. The show, usually a summer staple in the states, is kicking off the PBS fall slate this year, but if the first image is anything to go on, Grantchester will still stick to bringing at least some summertime goodness.

Though Masterpiece is trying to keep most of the new season of Grantchester under wraps, it's already been revealed thT the first episode of the new season will see the entire group go on holiday. And by the whole group, I mean the Keating family and the church family, so Geordi, Cathy, and the entire kiddie clan, including Esme and Will, Leonard, and Mrs. C. (Whether or not Daniel and/or Jack come along too remains to be seen. But the holiday won't be a restful one, as solving a murder at the resort where they are staying soon consumes both Will and Geordie.

Here's the first photo from the new season, showing off the 1950s era vacation postcard background.
