As Grantchester's new era continues, Alphy's first invite to a swanky parish party results in everything from some casual racism to a dead body in the basement. 

The Rev Alphy Kotteram (Rishi Nair) arrives in Grantchester, and he and Geordie decide that solving crimes together will be their new hobby.

Grantchester may have just lost its second vicar, but it's already planning its tenth anniversary season.

Grantchester Season 9 sets its premiere for mid-June 2024, officially taking over the Endeavour slot, and completing the summer of mysteries lineup.

Tom Brittney's Rev. Will Davenport will depart the vicarage as Grantchester is renewed for Season 9. Meet the new vicar, Alphy Kotteram, played by Rishi Nair.
