While there's still no word on when UK fans will be able to watch new episodes, fans on the other side of the pond can rest easy knowing that Robson Green and Rishi Nair will be returning to their screens this summer.

A synopsis for the new season has also been released, with more on that below.

On the renewal announcement for Grantchester, writer and executive producer Daisy Coulam said: "This show is a testament to our lovely team – the cast and crew.

"I'm so grateful and proud that we get to come back together for our 10th season and another glorious summer in Grantchester."

Executive producer Emma Kingsman-Lloyd said the team had been "delighted by the audience reaction" and that they were "overjoyed to be... bringing more of Geordie and Alphy's adventures to the screen", while ITV drama and comedy assistant commissioner Callum Dziedzic teased "even more mystery, misadventure and romance".

Grantchester season 10 release date speculation: When will it air?

A UK release date for Grantchester season 10 has not yet been revealed.

Filming on season 10 began in July last year, so we'd expect new episodes to arrive on ITV in early 2026.

However, we now have a confirmed release date for the US, with season 10 set to premiere on PBS on Sunday 15th June.

What will Grantchester season 10 be about?

"Alphy feels like he’s found a home, but he’s forced to confront secrets he’s kept close to his chest. Will he be able to let anyone fully in, or must he confront truths about himself first?"

Grantchester season 10 will premiere in the US on Sunday 15th June, with previous seasons available to stream on ITVX in the UK.
