The cassocks and crime-solving return to Cambridgeshire as Grantchester kicks off its tenth season. The premiere episode, which begins streaming on PBS Passport this Sunday, June 15, at 9:00 PM ET, finds the village’s Easter festivities darkened by an unexpected death. Nothing disrupts a holiday weekend in a quaint English village quite like a suspicious corpse.
For the crime-fighting clergyman Alphy, the case arrives at a convenient time. He attempts to lose himself in the investigation, a clear effort to sidestep his own personal problems that have been simmering just below the surface. This new mystery provides a perfect distraction, allowing him to focus on someone else’s secrets instead of his own.
Set against the backdrop of the 1950s, the series continues to lean on its established formula: a methodical police inspector working alongside a vicar whose approach to justice is more philosophical than procedural. Their unlikely partnership remains the core of the show, with each man bringing a different perspective to the dark deeds that seem to plague their otherwise idyllic surroundings.
The tenth season of Grantchester begins on Sunday, June 15, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET, streaming on PBS Passport.
