ITV's popular crime drama 'Grace' concluded its sixth season on Sunday with a devastating cliffhanger, leaving fans desperate for a seventh series. The episode saw DS Roy Grace (John Simm) about to marry Cleo (Zoe Tapper) when he learned that a gang leader's associate had infiltrated his wedding and kidnapped Cleo. The instalment ended with Grace asking the kidnapper, 'What do you want?' setting up a clear continuation.
Following the broadcast, ITV shared behind-the-scenes photos on social media, prompting an outpouring of fan pleas for more episodes. One viewer wrote, 'Brilliant finale. Edge of the seat stuff! Bring on season 7,' while another said, 'I need more Grace. This has been my Sunday fix for the past month. Roll on season 7.'
Although ITV has not officially confirmed a seventh season, John Simm seemingly revealed its future by replying 'Yes' to a fan's question on social media. Simm previously told ITV, 'I will happily do this as long as people want it. I love the job, I love the people, and it's unlike anything I've ever done.' Co-star Richie Campbell, who plays DI Glenn Branson, echoed the sentiment, saying, 'As long as people still love it, I want to do it forever.'
The series, based on Peter James's novels, has been praised for its character portrayals and gripping storylines. With the cliffhanger ending and strong fan demand, a seventh season appears likely, though an official announcement from ITV is still awaited.
