A new vicar is taking the pulpit! Tom Brittney (Outlander, Call the Midwife) is joining the cast of Grantchester Season 4 as Reverend Will Davenport, a man of the people and the crime-solving partner to Robson Green’s Geordie Keating in 1950s Grantchester.

James Norton, who plays the charismatic, jazz-loving clergyman Sidney Chambers, makes his final appearance during the season of the Masterpiece Mystery! series, which premieres on Sunday, July 14.

Confident, caring and self-assured, Grantchester’s new young parish priest channels his boundless energy into a quest for social justice. He is a man of God, but with the devil inside of him. As Geordie draws him into righting the wrongs of criminal Cambridge, Will’s own troubled past is unearthed.

Roush Review: 'Grantchester' Season 4 Is the Start of a Promising Partnership

About his character, Brittney says, “Will has a very strong moral compass with a thirst to change things, but underneath, there is a dark and troubled past that drives him in what he does.” In addition to Norton and Green, returning members of the acclaimed ensemble include Tessa Peake-Jones, Kacey Ainsworth, and Al Weaver.
