'Grantchester' Season 5 to Air on PBS This June

Get ready, mystery fans, an all new season of Grantchester will be here sooner than you think.

The popular period series will return for its fifth season - and first full run without original star James Norton - beginning on Sunday, June 14.  If that feels a bit on the early side, it's becuase it is - Grantchester has previously aired in the U.S. during high midsummer, usually around mi-July.

Tom Brittney is now officially the series' primary crime-solving vicar, moving the series fully into the post-Sydney Chambers era. (This also likely means that anyone who was still holding out hope for a Norton guest spot/Sydney return is probably going to need to let go of that dream.)
