Robson Green, who has portrayed DI Geordie Keating on the British crime series Grantchester since its debut in 2014, shared that the show will conclude with its upcoming series 11. This week marks the airing of the series finale, bringing a decade-long journey in the beloved role to an end. Fans of Grantchester may find solace in the availability of another of Green's notable performances, as his earlier series Wire in the Blood has been made available for free streaming on ITVX.

Wire in the Blood originally aired from 2002 to 2008 and features Green in the role of Dr. Tony Hill, a criminal psychologist who aids police in solving complex murder cases. The series is adapted from the novels of Val McDermid and showcases Dr. Hill's expertise in understanding the criminal mind, as he assists authorities in unraveling challenging scenarios. This move to stream the series for free aims to offer viewers a chance to enjoy Green's work in a different yet equally captivating detective narrative.

The decision to stream Wire in the Blood could be indicative of ITV's strategy to engage viewers as they transition away from Grantchester. Offering free access to popular series from its past helps to keep the audience entertained during the hiatus between seasons or after the conclusion of a long-running show. For fans of crime drama, this offers an ideal opportunity to explore Green's earlier character work and appreciate the storytelling rooted in psychological insights.
