Endeavour season 7 plot: What’s in store?
In the last series of the period drama, Endeavour and his colleagues faced conflict as corruption ran rife through their ranks.
As the series begins with an episode directed by Shaun, Endeavour is spending New Year’s Eve 1969 in Venice. But when he returns to Oxford, personal and professional tensions soon come to the fore as the team investigate after a body is found on a canal towpath on New Year’s Day 1970. But the only clue is a strange whistling heard on the night of the murder…
While the case continues throughout the series, the episodes also explore women’s liberation, and the scientific developments and social changes of the era.
“The prospect of entering a new decade is hugely exciting for all of #TeamEndeavour. We’re always looking to break new ground, and go places we haven’t been before - both physically and emotionally,” says the show’s creator Russell Lewis.
