Endeavour Season 6 Gets a Trailer, Will Air on ITV Next Month

The trailer for Endeavour Season 6 reveals a few changes for the new season - including a new decade, a new office and a new mustache for Morse.

When fans last left Endeavour, our young Morse (Shaun Evans) was standing in front of Joan Thursday (Sara Vickers), throwing caution to the winds after the Cowley Police Station had closed for the last time as part of the Oxford City Police folding into Thames Valley Constabulary. It was the end of both 1968 and a supersized fifth season which ran an expanded six-episode order to cover all the changes the show was undergoing.

Season 6 will pick up in 1969, a time which represents the end of many eras, including the close of the Swinging Sixies and the break up of the Beatles. But for Morse, the changes are already here, even if the calendar hasn't ticked over to 1970 yet. WPC Shirley Trewlove is gone, transferred to London with plans to become the star of her own version of Prime Suspect. George Fancy, the young detective partner from Oxford City, is dead, but his unsolved murder case is traveling to Thames Valley along with Morse and Jim Strange (Sean Rigby). DI Fred Thursday (Roger Allam) has also moved to the new digs, despite his best efforts to retire last season, since his savings were lost by his gambling brother.
