What BollyAI Thinks

Series 8 arrived in January 2024 and delivered Tom Brittney's final run as Will Davenport, setting up another succession. The six episodes provided a formal conclusion to the second era of Grantchester while Robson Green's Keating remained the sole constant across both lead changes. Critics treated the farewell warmly, reflecting the affection the series had accumulated across its decade on ITV.
