‘Where is it?’ demand ITV viewers after hit crime drama’s fourth series is kept off screens

ITV viewers have been left wondering where the fourth season of Grace is after the last series aired over a year ago.

The hit show is based on a series of books about a detective called Roy Grace.

Fans already know the upcoming season of Grace has four feature-length episodes, thanks to it premiering on BritBox in the US.

But UK audiences have been left in the dark about when they will get the chance to watch the crime drama.

Several fans have flocked to an online forum to speculate about what the hold up is and share when they think it could air.

One person queried: “I wonder what the delay is in airing Series 4? ITV normally air Grace in March/April so shouldn’t we have had it in Spring 2024.

“They might actually leave it until January 2025 and air it after the final two episodes of Vera, then going forward from January 2026 for Series 5 in the Sunday at 8pm slot where Vera aired (with January 2027 for possibly Series 6 as mentioned earlier).”

Another reassured: “Grace S4 does appear in the ITV July to September highlights press pack, so it is definitely coming, just no exact date as yet.”

A third explained: “They always tend to skip new drama in August with summer holidays.

“Then in the autumn they save the Sunday nights when it would normally be a crime show premiere for reality shows in particular I’m a Celebrity.

“ITV tend to save their new dramas for January to June.”

The season four episode names have been revealed to be: Dead Man’s Time, Want You Dead, You Are Dead, and Love You Dead.

They are based on four books with the same names by author Peter Grace.

Those particular novels revolve around the stories of an antique robbery, an obsessed ex-lover, a possible serial killer and a potential black widow.

While tuning in, viewers can also hope to learn more about Roy’s missing wife, Sandy.

Actor John Simm, who plays the Detective Superintendent, previously told the Mirror: “It’s a delicate balancing act because they’re two different things: A novel isn’t a TV show, and a TV show isn’t a novel.

“While we’re trying to be true to source material, it’s a TV show and so fans of the novel… some of them will be up in arms because it won’t be the characters they had in their head.

“But there’s nothing we as actors can do about that, we just have to serve the script and what is in front of us.”

He added: “I can’t really be worrying if the people who are into the novels won’t like it.”
