Grantchester season 4 renewal not official; should it return to ITV?
In speaking about the show’s uncertain future, series star Robson Green (Geordie) made it clear to the Express that while the series easily could “carry on,” even with fluctuations to the cast, the ball is it the network’s court to determine if it should ultimately be renewed:
“It’s always down to viewing figures, it really is sadly.
“It is a secure entity now and it’s up there with the best of what ITV’s got to offer at the moment.”
As of right now, the series’ ratings are also in such a position that the show can be classified as firmly on the bubble. It’s not successful enough to make us confident that the series will be coming back on the air. Meanwhile, it’s also not doing so poorly as to ensure that it gets canceled. Completely on the bubble. This decision could come down to a few different factors over at ITV, including just how much network executives appreciate the series, what the story ideas for the future are, or how much money it makes in opposition to the cost. This is a network that has no problem letting drama series run for a long time, given the fact that Downton Abbey aired for six seasons and could have easily gone longer. However, this is also a network that has no problem handing down a quick cancellation to a show deemed as under-performing in some way. Remember for a moment here that Home Fires was kicked to the curb in a rather abrupt manner after just two seasons on the air even though this was a solid show with great potential to grow even further.
Let’s turn this over to you…

The stories of the characters in this series is what is best! One could go in many directions to continue the really “A” series and the excellent writers this series have.I love the Sidney Chambers character, but I think it could do well with some new actors added and the strong stories. I would like series to continue!

I absolutely love this show but can’t stand Amanda. I never could right from the beginning. Why he is so much in love with her is a mystery to me. I would like it if Sidney found someone more worthy of him. Yes I hope for another season.

Please have a season 4 and more. I would like for Sidney and Amanda to become parents of their own child and the church to allow their marriage. Please do not cancel Grantchester. Thanks, Joseph Holland, Prattville, AL USA

I agree that Guy should die and either Sidney, or Amanda be the prime suspect. I think the show should continue with a newlywed Amanda and Sidney, dealing with church socials, murders, and an expanding family.

I’m from America and I LOVE this show as well. I hope that there will be a season 4. I disagree that it’s turned into a …..soap opera. It’s a good crime drama that explores the issues of the time by way of the ensemble cast. It’s not just all about Sydney, and that makes one want to continue to watch. If I may put forth a suggestion or two for the next seasons’ theme? If, for example, there is a ending date for the series, say “season four or five would be the last, I’d write season four so that Sydney and Amanda get to really see what life would be like without one another. Particularly Sydney, who seems to have a bit of a roving eye. Amanda goes back to Guy, but doesn’t tell Sydney the “real” reason.
At the end of season four, Guy is mysteriously met with an untimely demise and (of course) Amanda is the prime suspect.
Season 5 (let’s say that’ll be the last) is all about Sydney’s having to face his feelings for Amanda, having to try and figure out what happened and get her exonerated before she goes to prison or worse, and wrap up what happens with Geordie (his wife meets another man, has an affair and threatens to leave) Mrs. Maguire (can’t recall her new married name) moves to Scotland with her new husband, and Leonard leaves the church to be with his boyfriend. They move to Papua, New Guinea and open a school. They take Dickens with them. :-)

They’ve turned it into a god damn soap opera with all the Sidney Amanda crap. Where are the mysteries? I much prefer the books.

I’m from America and LOVE this show. I am trying to wait patiently until season three comes out at Amazon. I don’t know if I can last, I might need to go ahead and buy it on DVD.
