Watch Grantchester Season 9 online
Picking up in summer 1961, life is good for detective Geordie Keating (Robson Greene) and his sidekick, crime solving Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney). But when Will is presented with a life changing offer that will take him away from the small Cambridgeshire village, the duo are forced to say their goodbyes and draw a line under their days as Grantchester’s premiere crime fighting duo.
With Geordie struggling with Will’s departure, matters aren’t helped by the fact that new Reverend Alphy Kottaram (Rishi Nair) has both a distrust of authority and absolutely no desire to become embroiled with solving crime. But with Alphy soon discovering that Grantchester is the murder capital of East Anglia, a begrudging partnership is soon underway.
With ITV promising “ deadly circuses, abandoned babies, and hostile historians to vanishing valets and murderous satirists,” it’s just another day in the sleepy English village.

What can we expect from Grantchester Season 9?
The official synopsis from the ITV reads: “It’s 1961 and life is good for Will and Geordie. The families are always together, from Sunday lunches to planning summer holidays and with honorary Grandparents Mrs C and Jack, and adopted uncles Daniel and Leonard, it’s one big happy family! But when Will is approached with a life changing offer, can he leave Grantchester, and Geordie behind? As Geordie struggles with personal loss and ever-growing family conflict between Cathy and teenage daughter, Esme he has no one to turn to. But when he arrests an intruder breaking into the Vicarage, he may find his days of working with a Vicar are not over. Reverend Alphy Kottaram has an instinctive distrust for authority and absolutely no desire to get involved in murder investigations. But Alphy and Geordie will discover they have a lot more in common than they first think, and Alphy will find that in Grantchester, murder is never far away. From deadly circuses, abandoned babies, and hostile historians to vanishing valets and murderous satirists. Together, Geordie and Alphy witness first-hand how religion can be corrupted, but also how faith, love and friendship can offer hope – and renewal.”
