Screenwriter Russell Lewis, Shaun Evans and Roger Allam have mutually decided to bring the Inspector Morse prequel, Endeavour to a close, and the ITV series currently filming in Oxford will be the last. Announcing the decision, executive producer Damien Timmer assured fans the final instalments would include “many surprises” and some returning favourites.
Speaking about the decision to end the ITV series, Executive producer Damien Timmer on behalf of producers, Mammoth Screen said: “Endeavour has been a real labour of love for all of us, and we salute Russell Lewis for his extraordinary achievement in chronicling Endeavour Morse’s coming of age across 72 hours of TV.
“Russell always knew where he wanted the series to end, and that Remorseful Day is nearly upon us!
“We’d like to thank Shaun and Roger and all the other members of the Endeavour family on and off-screen, and to the show’s fans both in the UK and abroad.
“Russell has many surprises up his sleeve for the final three films, with the return of some familiar faces and new challenges for Endeavour and Thursday to face before the final goodbye.”
