Grantchester Season 8 Plot: What Will Happen?
Robson Green from Grantchester Season 8. Celebrating film and TV on ITV1
The official synopsis for Season 8 is as follows: “Will is the happiest he's ever been, but his world is rocked by a horrific accident. He has always preached the word of a merciful God, but he falls into despair. How can we recover now that we have been guided into a dangerous downward spiral? ”
Geordie “finds a newfound sense of fulfillment in his relationship with Kathy, but their happiness is threatened when they both face a shocking announcement at work.”
And as always, “murder is always around the corner.”
The logline continues: “Grantchester Season 8 ranges from speedways to spies, exploring the lives of invisible women and the very visible problems posed by Leonard's new profession, and once again He may end up fighting the law.
“Exploring faith, forgiveness and salvation – this explosive series will test Will and Geordie to their limits.”
Regarding the challenges his character will face in Season 8, Green said:[Geordie faces] That was the decisive moment when I realized that my expiration date had passed. He has shut down his operations and cannot compete with Elliott and his inner circle, so he needs to move on and leave this place he loves and has dedicated his life to.
“Elliott has far more powerful people in his pocket than Geordie. It's a very painful moment for Geordie, but it's great to play as an actor. We'll see if he can find a way around it. There must be.”

What happened at the end of Grantchester Season 7?

At the end of the season, DI Geordie Keating and Reverend Will Davenport both succeed in winning over their loved ones, with Geordie reuniting with his estranged wife Kathy and Will with Bonnie and her son before boarding the train. I hurried to the station to meet Bonnie. He goes home by train.
Asking her to stay in Grantchester, Will confesses his love for Bonnie, who responds with a kiss. The episode then fast forwards to the wedding, with Geordie (naturally) taking the role of best man.
“The car is outside, the engine is still running,” I told Will, and Will replied that he wasn't going anywhere. “I didn't think so,” Jordy said with a laugh.
After the wedding reception, Will and Geordie stood on the green overlooking Grantchester Church. “The kids are next,” Geordie joked, before the two linked arms.
Grantchester is available to watch on ITV and ITVX. James Runcie's Grantchester Mysteries book can be ordered from Amazon.
