Season 1

Endeavour is a British crime drama television series devised by Russell Lewis as a prequel to the long-running adaptation of Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse novels which follows the eponymous police detective in his early career as he conducts his dogged, incorruptible pursuit of justice from the shadows of Oxford and the fringes of the police force.

Shaun Evans (The Take, The Last Weekend, Silk), who won over critics and viewers alike with his portrayal of young Morse in the prequel film, has returned with four new films written by Lewis creator and Morse writer Russell Lewis.

Acclaimed stage and screen actor Roger Allam (The Jury, Parade's End, The Thick of It) returns as Endeavour's senior partner, Detective Inspector Fred Thursday.

Stage actor Sean Rigby takes on the role of a young PC Strange - the character who appeared in the original Morse series, played by James Grout.

James Bradshaw returns as Dr Max Debryn and John Thaw's daughter Abigail makes further guest appearances as Dorothea Frazil.

Supporting cast include Anton Lesser (The Hour, Garrow's Law, The Scapegoat) as Chief Supt Reginald Bright and Jack Laskey (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) as DS Peter Jakes.

The series is produced by Dan McCulloch (Endeavour, 10 Minute Tales) and executive produced by Mammoth Screen's Joint Managing Directors, Michele Buck and Damien Timmer, writer Russell Lewis and Rebecca Eaton for WGBH.

Directors are Ed Bazalgette (A Mother's Son, Vera), Tom Vaughan (Starter for Ten, Extraordinary Measures, What Happens in Vegas), Craig Viveiros (The Liability, Ghosted) and Colm McCarthy (Ripper Street, Doctor Who, Injustice).

Acclaimed novelist Colin Dexter, whose first Morse story was published in 1975, acts as consultant for the series.

Film 1: Girl

Burgled gas meters, the sudden death of a pretty young secretarial student, and a string of post office robberies threaten to mask the solution to a pair of violent murders as DC Endeavour Morse and DI Thursday's newly forged relationship is tested to the breaking point.

Film 2: Fugue

Endeavour, demoted to "general duty," meets his intellectual – and cultural – match in a new kind of serial killer haunting the Oxford twilight with cryptic clues and a disturbing love of opera.

Film 3: Rocket

A royal visit by Princess Margaret to an Oxford munitions factory may exclude the unwelcome Endeavour Morse, but even Chief Superintendent Bright's highest security cannot exclude murder.

Film 4: Home

As Endeavour crams for his Sergeant's exam and Oxford lies in the grip of winter, a hit and run accident claims the life of an eminent classics professor, and Endeavour is drawn home to Lincolnshire to visit his ailing father. But Thursday – and a seemingly connected murder – draw him back and force him to question the concepts of father and home.
