Everything We Know About: 'Endeavour' Season 7

Endeavour will be back in 2020 just in time to begin the 1970s. Here's what we know about Season 7.

There's good news all over for Endeavour, which saw the return of normality at the end of Season 6. The boys of the former Oxford City Police uncovered a ring of massive widespread corruption that was being run out of Thames Valley's Castlegate. After discovering that DCI Ronnie Box's bagman, DS Alan Jago, was running a heroin ring and paying most of his coworkers with it as grift money, the head of the division stepped down. In his place, the former head of Oxford City, Reginald Bright was promoted out of Traffic and into what will most likely be his final career position, overseeing Castlegate.

With Box having taken a bullet to take down Jago, the DCI position was open and offered to Fred Thursday, with Morse assigned as his bagman. Jim Strange finished up at Division HQ and joined the crew, while Dr. Max DeBryn stayed on as coroner. In short, everyone landed where they belonged, back in their old positions, just this time in a shiny new office.

Oh, and Morse took another step towards becoming the man fans knew and loved in 1988, as he moved into his oh so recognizable old (er, new) home. Now all he needs is a car.

That being said, even as Morse morphs into the character fans know in the 1980s and 1990s, actor Shaun Evans (who has never watched the original series) continues to forge his own path for the character, pulled from the material in the original novels.
