The 7th season of Grantchester ended on Good Friday, which was suitable for a drama about a vicar. It also featured a major twist: the wedding of previously confirmed bachelor Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney).

In the season finale, the motorcycling, crime-solving vicar married Bonnie (Charlotte Ritchie), a widow and single mother who came to Grantchester to help her aunt Cathy (Kacey Ainsworth). As a result, by the end of the season, Will would be able to refer to DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green) as his uncle-in-law. Fans of this show are now wondering if there would be any new season. So here’s everything you need to know about Grantchester season 8.
