Charting the career of the young Endeavour Morse, the hit series has gone from strength to strength since its first outing as a one-off film to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Inspector Morse in 2012. The new series, which will be set in 1968 and continue to be written by creator Russell Lewis, will go into production this Spring.

Shaun Evans (The Scandalous Lady W) is set to reprise his role as the young Morse, starring alongside acclaimed stage and screen actor Roger Allam (The Missing) as Endeavour’s senior officer, Detective Inspector Fred Thursday. Also returning will be series regulars Dakota Blue Richards (Skins) as WPC Shirley Trewlove, Anton Lesser (Game Of Thrones) as Chief Superintendent Reginald Bright and Abigail Thaw (I Want My Wife Back) as Dorothea Frazil.

The announcement follows the successful launch of the fourth series earlier this month, which received critical praise and impressive viewing figures despite strong competition on BBC1. Marking the 30th anniversary of Inspector Morse on ITV, the first episode, which aired on Sunday 8 January, pulled in a consolidated rating of 6.8m and 24% share, which is the biggest audience since 2014 and up on the year on year average by half a million viewers.
