An era draws to a close as the acclaimed detective series Endeavour reaches its conclusion. The series portrays the early years of brooding, gifted Sergeant Endeavour Morse of Thames Valley police in Oxford. Shaun Evans (Vigil) stars in the title role with Roger Allam (Murder in Provence) as his streetwise superior, DCI Fred Thursday.
The final season brings the hit series to a close in three nail-biting episodes on MASTERPIECE. Watch it unfold on WITF TV Sundays at 9pm – on June 18, June 25 and July 2.
Inspired by MASTERPIECE’s 1987-2000 series Inspector Morse, starring John Thaw, and based on Colin Dexter’s bestselling mysteries, Endeavour turns back the clock to explore the making of this matchless detective, who spurns his first name to go by just “Morse.” Endeavour first aired in 2012 and has earned a devoted following for Shaun Evans, Roger Allam, and other leading actors.
The ninth and final season opens in spring 1972 with DS Morse rejoining the force after an extended leave to treat his drinking problem, brought on by overwork and personal troubles. His first case immerses him in a world he loves—orchestral music—where the performances are divine, but the staff and artists can be petty, dictatorial, and even homicidal.
In addition to trouble at the orchestra, Morse and Thursday investigate a gangland slaying targeting a police informant. As viewers have learned to expect, the surprising amount of mayhem in Oxford is often connected. With growing dread, Morse and Thursday face the prospect that the unresolved Blenheim Vale child abuse scandal from season 2 has resurfaced.
Watch the final season of Endeavour on WITF TV over three consecutive Sundays at 9pm on starting on June 18. Episodes stream for free through the PBS or WITF app for two weeks following their television premiere.
