ITV has commissioned a sixth series of hugely popular detective drama, Endeavour, following successful ratings and critical acclaim for the fifth series.
Co-produced by leading indie Mammoth Screen and MASTERPIECE, the smart and savvy Inspector Morse prequel charts the career of Endeavour Morse as he rises up through the ranks, with each feature-length film investigating a new intricately plotted case.
The new set of films will see Shaun Evans reprise his titular role as DS Endeavour Morse, and celebrated stage and screen actor Roger Allam return as mentor DI Fred Thursday. Each story will be written by Russell Lewis, who contributed to Inspector Morse and has written each of the 23 Endeavour screenplays so far.
Receiving praise from critics and viewers alike, the drama has gone from strength to strength since its first outing as a one-off film in 2012 to mark the 25th anniversary of Inspector Morse on ITV. The latest series launched with consolidated figures of 6.7m and 25% a share, with the consolidated figures for the first four films the highest for three years.
Filmed in and around Oxford, the new set of films will be set in 1969 and go into production later this year for transmission in 2019. Mammoth Screen’s Damien Timmer executive produces, alongside writer and creator Russell Lewis and WGBH’s Rebecca Eaton. Deanne Cunningham (Cold Feet) will produce the new series.
Creator, Russell Lewis said: “As our story reaches the last year of the 1960s, and mankind makes its giant leap, all at #TeamEndeavour look forward to exploring further early chapters in the casebook of Colin Dexter’s beloved creation.”
ITV’s Head of Drama, Polly Hill added: “Endeavour continues to be hugely popular with ITV audiences and we’re delighted to be bringing viewers more films to enjoy. Thanks to Russell Lewis’s consistently intriguing scripts and the excellent production values at Mammoth Screen, it is a high quality drama that ITV is immensely proud of.”

一本神秘的绘本将玛格丽特带往了卡萨索尼卡，而国际犯罪组织安纺亦盯上了玛格丽特，他们派出了特务卡罗莎（森川智之 配音）潜伏在玛格丽特身边。在卡萨索尼卡，马德拉斯和玛格丽特终于相遇了，她们决定共同寻找绘本的起源和隐藏在其中的秘密，与此同时，马德拉斯和她的指导老师潘尼莎（雪野五月 配音）一起，揭露了安纺贩卖军火，并且想要掀起世界大战的巨大阴谋。。这部带有超现实主义色彩的剧集以幽默、「天真」的视角来描绘当代年轻人（特别是纽约市的年轻人）的约会生活——真可谓酸甜苦辣咸五味俱全。所谓「超现实主义」，是指该剧把谈恋爱看做一件「生死攸关」（life-and-death stakes）的事情。这个项目根据Simon Rich撰写的畅销书《The Last Girlfriend On Earth》改编，Simon Rich亲自担任剧集创作人。年仅28岁的Simon Rich因此成为好莱坞历史上最年轻的剧集创作人之一。 主人公Josh Greenberg（Jay Baruchel）是一个骨子里充满浪漫主义但又过于天真单纯的年轻人，当相处多年的女友将他抛弃后，他决心再次寻找爱情——但那对他来说无异于重历一场噩梦。一夜情，痛苦的分手，闪电相亲，时间旅行，性爱外星人，许多死亡……甚至一个叫「田中」的日本阳具怪兽…...。
