Will Endeavour return for season nine?
Although the show has yet to be commissioned for another season, we think it’s a safe bet to expect that it will be back for season nine. Speaking about the show, the creator Russell Lewis previously told Radio Times: "Every year, we had to wait – certainly to begin with – to see if we were going again. So we always finished the series at a place that was satisfactory if we never came back […] if force majeure had happened, if any of us had been struck by lightning, we could have left it there."

"It’s difficult because it's like planning your own funeral. Why would I not want to be earning this money? Why would I not want to be hanging out with these people who I love? But you have to be strict [because] we shouldn't be milking it."
Will you be watching season nine?
Russell added: "I'll do it for as long as they want me to, but I do know how it ends. We wouldn't want to get to the point where you can see the join [of the two shows], I think we'll bow out long before that."
