The show, which currently stars Robson Green as Detective Inspector Geordie Keating and Rishi Nair as the Reverend Alphy Kotteram, debuted on ITV in the UK and as part of PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery! lineup in the States back in 2014-2015. Since then, Green has remained a fixture of the crime drama, but Nair is the third actor to play a local Anglican vicar prone to helping him solve crimes. The first clergyman, Sidney Chambers, was portrayed by James Norton; Tom Brittney replaced him in Season 4 as William “Will” Davenport.
Green is quoted in a press release as saying:
“From the very beginning, I have had the incredible fortune to be part of this extraordinary team of talented, passionate, and dedicated individuals who have become more than colleagues. They have become family. I have made friendships forged through shared laughter, challenges, and triumphs. The bonds we’ve formed extend far beyond the camera lens, and I know that they will endure long after the final scene within the Grantchester world has been filmed. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey. [Producer] Emma Kingsman-Lloyd and [series developer] Daisy Coulam ... from that very first day you gave me the extraordinary opportunity to be part of this experience It has been an honour to share in the magic of Grantchester, and I am forever grateful for the memories, the friendships, and the love that this journey has given me. I hope I made you proud.”Grantchester is based on The Grantchester Mysteries, a seven-book succession of works by James Runcie. The first of those works was 2012’s Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death.
Season 10 of TV’s Grantchester was shown earlier this year.
