ENDEAVOUR: Season 8 : June 19

Mark your calendars: 

Season 8 of Endeavour will premier on PBS MASTERPIECE on Sunday, June 19 at 9 pm. The all-new season has three episodes, airing Sundays, June 19 through July 3, from 9-11pm ET on MASTERPIECE. I'm not sure if they will all appear on PBS Passport on June 19. I'll update when I find out. I'm so looking forward to this show! Wish there were more episodes.

What Season 8 is about!

New year (it’s 1971), new cases, and new struggles lay ahead for Morse, Thursday, and their team. While still reeling from the events of the past year, they’re summoned to investigate cases involving IRA relations, and a string of murders that may end up threatening not just the public, but the detectives themselves.

SPOILER:

After Violetta’s tragic death at the end of Season 7, Endeavour has spiraled deeper and deeper, struggling with the loss, guilt, and love weighing heavy on his heart and mind. But crime doesn’t stop for heartache, and the trouble in Oxford is bigger than ever.

As tensions rise outside and inside the team, Endeavour and Thursday find themselves continually at odds. The question is, will their relationship withstand the strain?

“[Series Writer] Russell Lewis has really done a great job with the scripts,” Evans said about the new season, especially with Endeavour’s mental health struggles. “Human beings are so complex. People want to label things and explain them away. But you can’t. One of the beauties of being able to do something long form like this where we return to it again year on year is that hopefully you have the opportunity to show that in a way that’s a little more subtle. That has always been the intention from us all.”
