Grantchester is back with series 10 and has added fresh new faces from Line of Duty, Shameless and Holby City to the cast list

Grantchester is back for its 10th series, with Robson Green and Rishi Nair reprising their roles as DI Geordie Keating and Reverend Alphy Kottaram, alongside a host of guest stars.

For the second to last series, confirmed last year as the show's final season, ITV has introduced several new faces. These include Maggie O'Neill, known for her roles in Shameless and EastEnders, playing Mavis Andrews, and Neil Stuke from Silk taking on the role of Reg Wait.

The second episode will see Holby City's Guy Henry and Line of Duty actor Maya Sondhi appear as professors, while Christie Russell-Brown joins the cast for all six episodes as librarian Meg Grey.

Viewers may recognise Rishi from Hollyoaks, where he played Sami Maalik, as well as from his roles in Whitstable Pearl and The Marlow Murder Club, reports Cambridgeshire Live.

Robson and Rishi will be joined by a number of returning cast members, including Al Weaver as Leonard Finch, Tessa Peake-Jones as Mrs. C, Kacey Ainsworth as Cathy Keating, Oliver Dimsdale as Daniel Marlowe, Nick Brimble as Jack Chapman, Bradley Hall as DC Larry Peters and Melissa Johns as Miss Scott.
