Grantchester itself is used for extensive filming, with the Church of St Andrew and St Mary used for the church interior and churchyard scenes. A private home in [[Lemsford]], [[Hertfordshire]], doubles as the [[vicarage]], while the Windmill pub in [[Chipperfield]] is used for The Red Lion. [[King's Parade]] in Cambridge has been transformed to represent various 1950s street scenes, complete with period cars and buses. [[Horsted Keynes railway station]], on the [[Bluebell Railway]], in [[West Sussex]] has been used to double for [[Cambridge station]].<ref name="creative england">{{cite web | title=Production services website | url=http://www.creativeengland.co.uk/story/which-filming-locations-were-used-for-itv-drama-grantchester | first=Hayley | last=Armstrong | date=6 October 2014 | website=Creative England | access-date=7 October 2014 | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141009095556/http://www.creativeengland.co.uk/story/which-filming-locations-were-used-for-itv-drama-grantchester | archive-date=9 October 2014 | df=dmy-all }}</ref>
 
[[Chatham Dockyard]] in [[Kent]] has doubled for various London locations, including the exterior of [[London King's Cross railway station|Kings Cross Station]], [[Borough Market]], and the exterior and interior of a warehouse and ropery. Commissioner's House was also used for filming.<ref>{{cite web|website=Kent Film Office|url=http://kentfilmoffice.co.uk/2014/10/grantchester-2014/|title=Kent Film Office Grantchester Article|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222084312/http://kentfilmoffice.co.uk/2014/10/grantchester-2014/|archive-date=22 December 2015|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
 
After the third series, James Norton wanted to leave the series to pursue other acting opportunities. Also, actress Morven Christie had departed the show since her storyline involving Sidney Chambers and Amanda had concluded. Without Norton's participation, there was talk of ending the series, but ''Grantchester'' had proven to be so popular with television viewers that the producers felt that the show could continue with a new male lead.
 
At the start of the fourth series, actor Tom Brittney joined the cast as Will Davenport, a former inner-city chaplain who was appointed as Sidney Chambers' replacement as the Anglican vicar of Grantchester. James Norton made his last appearances as Sidney in the first two installmentsinstalments of the fourth season to help with the transition. At the end of the second episode, Sidney Chambers leaves Grantchester and moves to America. Starting with the third episode, actor Robson Green began receiving top billing in the opening credits. Also, with the addition of Brittney to the series, it gave the opportunity for the remaining cast members to expand their roles, particularly Kasey Ainsworth as Cathy Keating, Geordie's wife, and Oliver Dimsdale as Daniel Marlowe, a local photographer who is also Leonard Finch's best friend and lover. Both Ainsworth's and Dimsdale's characters had been on the back burner for the last three years. By the time the fourth season had begun, Cathy was already working as a saleswoman in a department store, and Daniel's relationship with Leonard had become more intimate and intense. The scenes around the Manor house owned by Will Davenport's parents were filmed in [[Rotherfield Park]] in [[East Hampshire]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9470322/locations?ref_=tt_ql_dt_5|title=Filming & Production|website=imdb.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BuIyXvnAFuu/?igshid=12y1dqlile75b |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/BuIyXvnAFuu |archive-date=26 December 2021 |url-access=registration|title=Behind the scenes on Grantchester 4 |website=huttonimages}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
 
The first episode of the fifth series continues to feature Will Davenport as vicar of Grantchester. The plot centres around the students of two colleges at the [[University of Cambridge]]: a 'prestigious all-female college' (the real-life women's college [[Newnham College, Cambridge]]) and a fictional men's college (filmed at [[St John's College, Cambridge]]). The sixth series expanded to eight episodes, rather than the standard six.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy53Z2JoLm9yZy85OS9mZWVkLXJzcy54bWw/episode/cHJ4Xzk5X2NkOTljMWE5LWUwMzMtNGQwZi04Njg2LWFlNjU0ZDRjNmFlNQ|title=MASTERPIECE Studio - Bonus: Grantchester Writers' Room Reunites For Fifth Season Finale|website=Google Podcasts}}</ref>
 
On 28 July 2021, ITV announced that filming for the seventh series of ''Grantchester'' had begun, with the series due for release on 11 March 2022, with [[Tom Brittney]] directing for the first time. On 19 August 2022, ITV announced that an eighth series had been commissioned and filming had begun, with its release originally scheduled for late summer/early autumn 2023 but now delayed to early 2024.
 
In 2023, ITV announced that Series 9 would be the last to star Tom Brittney, and that he would be replaced by former ''[[Hollyoaks]]'' actor [[Rishi Nair]] in the role of Alphy Kotteram.<ref name="pbs.org"/> On 8 May 2024 ITV announced the series had been renewed for its 10th series.
 
==Critical reception==
The first episode was generally well -received by the critics. Michael Pilgrim of ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' wrote: "Delightfully neat and economical of plot, it’sit's [[Cluedo]] with cassocks and just enough noir for the modern palate. Victoria sponge with a tablespoon of battery acid." He added that "There could be a worse antidote than Grantchester" in a grim October in the early 21st century.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/tv-and-radio-reviews/11144402/Grantchester-review-episode-1-delightfully-neat.html |title=Grantchester, review, episode 1: 'delightfully neat' |author=Michael Pilgrim |date=6 OctOctober 2014 |work=The Daily Telegraph |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160319122140/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/tv-and-radio-reviews/11144402/Grantchester-review-episode-1-delightfully-neat.html |archive-date=19 March 2016 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> Ellen Jones of ''[[The Independent]] '' thought the programme "delightful, a new treat for fans of period-set, gently paced detective series like ''[[Endeavour (TV series)|Endeavour]]'', and also for fans of top TV totty James Norton."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/grantchester-itv-tv-review-9778413.html|title=Grantchester, ITV – TV review: A delightful treat for period drama fans|author=Ellen E Jones|date=6 October 2014|work=The Independent|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304135908/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/grantchester-itv-tv-review-9778413.html|archive-date=4 March 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Nancy deWolf Smith of ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' wrote, "''Grantchester'' is a revelation."<ref>{{Cite news |last=deWolf Smith |first=Nancy |date=2015-01-16 January 2015 |title=TV Review: The Soldier, Vicar, Lover, Sleuth of 'Grantchester' |language=en-US |work=Wall Street Journal |url=https://online.wsj.com/articles/tv-review-the-soldier-vicar-lover-sleuth-of-grantchester-1421380788 |access-date=2022-05-25 May 2022 |issn=0099-9660}}</ref>
