The 'Grantchester' Season 6 Trailer Is Ready For The Drama

On the surface, Grantchester seems like your typical lighthearted odd couple crime solvers mystery series. One's a priest, and the other's a cop; Sidney (and now Will) are young men of the new generation. Geordie is an old-school World War II vet. One's single and ready to mingle, the other's married with children. And through thick and thin, actors Robson Green and Tom Brittney keep that energy no matter what.

But what keeps Grantchester fans coming back is that it tackles important storylines as well. From sex scandals in the church to sexual harassment of women as they enter the workforce, Grantchester isn't just about mysteries-of-the-week, but wider storytelling about the era. It's also not the kind of mystery that resets back to the mean every week. Each of these more significant issues carries over from one season to the next. And this season, one of the longest-running stories is finally going to be tackled head-on, putting fan-favorite Leonard (Al Weaver) directly in the crosshairs as his relationship with Daniel (Oliver Dimsdale) goes public.

For those of us who believe Leonard should be protected at all costs or have been following the ins and outs of how Archdeacon Gabriel Atubo (recurring guest star Gary Beadle) has handled the Grantchester vicarage since his appointment in Season 3, this storyline makes Season 6 a must-watch. But it seems like a lot more will go down this season, which may finally break Geordie and William up for good.
