Cameras roll on more Endeavour

Inspector Morse prequel is now filming its fifth series in Oxford, UK.


Inspector Morse
prequel Endeavour is now filming its fifth series in Oxford, UK.

Six feature‐length films starring Shaun Evans as the recently promoted Detective Sergeant Endeavour Morse will screen in 2018.

The new series begins with Morse having finally passed his Sergeant’s exams, as Oxford City Police merges into Thames Valley Constabulary. Joan Thursday (Sara Vickers) has returned to Oxford, but much is unresolved following her disappearance the previous year and Endeavour’s unexpected proposal.

Also returning will be Roger Allam (The Missing) as Detective Chief Inspector Fred Thursday, Anton Lesser (Game Of Thrones) as Chief Superintendent Reginald Bright, Dakota Blue Richards (Skins) as WPC Shirley Trewlove, Sean Rigby (Isabella) as Sergeant Jim Strange, James Bradshaw (Primeval) as Dr. Max DeBryn, Caroline O’Neil (Last Tango In Halifax) as Win Thursday and Abigail Thaw (I Want My Wife Back) as Dorothea Frazil. The series also sees the arrival of new recruit Detective Constable George Fancy, played by Lewis Peek (Poldark), whom Morse has to reluctantly mentor.

Creator Russell Lewis says: “As production begins on Endeavour ’68, many of the global tensions of that most turbulent year have found their way into our six new mysteries. ’67’s Summer of Love seems already a distant memory. Dark clouds are gathering at home and abroad as, after almost 100 years, the long history of Oxford City Police comes to an end. A terrible storm is set to blow through the professional and personal lives of newly promoted Detective Sergeant Endeavour Morse and Oxford’s Finest, leaving devastation in its wake.”

  1. Where have I seen him recently Dept. Roger Allum, who plays DCI Thursday, was in a “real” Morse episode on 7two last week, “Death is Now My Neighbour”. Morse creator, Colin Dexter, also appeared fleetingly.
    Morse had 33 eps without a “terrible storm and devastation” so I’ll approach the new series with an open mind.
