'Endeavour' Gets Renewed For A 1970s Set Seventh Season

When ITV shows are hot, they run like clockwork. The series airs over in the U.K., then a premiere date is set in the U.S. while the season is going, and when it ends, ITV announces the next season is good to go. Whenever there's a break from this pattern, like with Grantchester in 2017, it's almost always a sign something is wrong.

The good news for fans is that nothing whatsoever is wrong with Endeavour, despite his newly-grown mustaches. The new season began airing on February 10th on ITV, by the end of February PBS had set a premiere for the U.S. in June. Now, with the finale having aired last Sunday, there is confirmation that Season 7 is a go.

Season 6, which has yet to air over here, is set in 1969, the final year of a swinging decade. The next season will follow the tradition of "one season = one year" and will be set in 1970. Though the number of episodes is still unconfirmed, most expect it will stay at its present size with a four-episode count.
