Will there be a seventh season of itv's hit crime drama grace?

Following the season finale, fans of ITV's popular crime series Grace are eagerly awaiting news on whether the show will be renewed for another season.

Strong backing from lead actor john simm

There have been no official announcements as yet, but the odds seem favourable given the show's high viewership and ratings. In a recent interview, lead actor John Simm expressed his enthusiasm for continuing the series, saying 'I will happily do this as long as people want it.' He also praised the show's collaborative atmosphere, likening it to 'coming home' each year.

Plenty of source material in peter james' novels

Another factor in the show's potential renewal is its origins as a series of novels by Peter James. With a wealth of source material to draw upon, it seems likely that the show's creators could craft multiple more seasons.

As fans await official news, they may be reassured to know that the show's Sunday evening 8pm time slot will not remain vacant for long. Starting April 26, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire will take its place.

Crime drama alternatives while we wait

For those craving more crime series in the meantime, there are plenty of other gripping options to explore. Silent Witness, Red Eye, Department Q, and The Capture are all well-regarded shows that offer similar thrills and suspense.
