When is Grantchester Season 4 coming out? Will Grantchester Season 4 come out? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH GRANTCHESTER SEASON 4?!?!
Decider has been asking these burning questions since as far back as last August. Season 3 ended on a bittersweet note, with Sidney and Amanda tearfully breaking up. So what comes next? James Runcie, the author who wrote the books that inspired Grantchester, told British tabloids last year that they may produce the show without star James Norton. Runcie said, “James Norton is in such big demand now that I’ve no idea if he’ll be available to film a new series.” Co-star Robson Green also said last year: “The series can carry on most definitely. Whether I’m in it or James is in it, or whoever, is another question.”
Well, what does James Norton have to say about that? Norton was on hand via satellite at TCA to promote his new AMC drama McMafia today and — yes — we asked him. Norton blushed a little and demurred that he didn’t know. He said, “I’m not sure,” and he’s waiting to be told “by powers much more important than me.”
So, no, we’re not any closer to knowing what’s going on with Grantchester, but Norton’s response suggests that he is open to a fourth season and that he is waiting to hear if ITV and PBS are game for more episodes…with Sidney Chambers. That is important since last summer the rumor mill was churning that he wanted him out, but maybe that’s not really the case.
UPDATE: As of June 2018, we can announce that Grantchester is returning for a fourth season, and that Norton will be leaving the show. Outlander alum Tom Brittney will be joining the cast as the new dishy vicar in town, and Norton will make his final onscreen appearance on Grantchester Season 4. PBS also let it slip during a podcast that Grantchester Season 4 will be debuting in Summer 2019.
If you can’t wait to see Norton on your TV again, AMC will be dropping the whole first season of McMafia on its streaming service after the first episode premieres on Monday, February 26.
