Filming is Under Way on 'Grantchester' Season 6

The Season 6 renewal was announced during an Instagram live chat held just prior to the show's U.S. finale broadcast back in July and filming was originally slated to begin in September. But production was only recently allowed to go ahead on the new installments, following general delays and shutdowns throughout the entertainment industry in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The production is adhering to Government COVID-19 guidance, including testing, temperature checks, and social distancing.

Though fans will surely be happy to learn that Grantchester filming has begun, the fact that it was pushed back into October likely means we won't see the sixth season until well into the Fall of 2021 at the earliest. (This is, as most viewers have likely already realized, quite a bit later than its usual summer schedule slot, and is a date that also counts on there being no more production shutdowns in the show's future. Thanks very much, global pandemic. Ugh. Fingers crossed.)
