Beautiful

Yummmmmmm!

I agree! I just discovered him on "Grantchester," and find him wildly sexy and talented. Based on his work in the Masterpiece series, I predict Mr. Norton's got a bright future to look forward to in acting.

"Grantchester" just ended its season here in The US and I'm desperate for more of him. I'll settle for repeats by PBS, if they promise to bring us more. That might be my donation requirement: "No member renewal until I'm assured there will be more James Nort -- er, 'Grantchester'."

You're in luck! "Grantchester" has been renewed for a second season!

Yay! I can't wait. I love watching this glorious creature -- and the show is great, as well. Really ;)!

I discovered him in Grantchester as well! I love pretty much everything on masterpiece. When I was done- I watched his TV series Happy Valley on Netflix- good God! Talk about extreme opposites in characters, from playing a good natured vicar to a reprehensible psychopath. Very talented imo, I found myself somehow sympathizing with his psycho character. And also thinking "no not the vicar!! " on more than one occasion. Happy Valley in itself is an unbelievably good show- highly recommended! British TV is so much better than it is here in the US.

I was bummed there wasn't an episode on PBS last night. Glad to hear the series has been renewed however will James be in it? There was an article where Robson Green made remarks about the second season.

Granchester may have started just two weeks ago but actor Robson Green has admitted that the show will not be able to hold onto their lead James Norton for a potential second series for long.

Speaking to The Independent, Green said, “Sadly, we’ll lose him very quickly, he’s so good. He really is one of the best I’ve ever worked with.”

The series is adapted from James Runcie’s novels and follows Norton’s vicar Sidney Chambers, who investigates crimes of passion in 1950s Cambridge with his partner Detective Inspector Geordie Keating, portrayed by Green.

ITV has not yet announced if it will be commissioned for a second series.

Norton shot to fame after playing the psychotic kidnapper Tommy Lee Royce in Happy Valley earlier this year.

The show was a hit with critics and audiences alike, and saw an average of 7.2 million viewers tuning in to watch the thriller unfold each week.

“I’d seen Happy Valley in which he was amazing in. […] You see that character there and he walks in and I meet him and I go ‘wow’. This beautiful, charismatic guy,” Green explained.

The 49-year-old actor says there was something of a bromance between the pair on set, “One night after wrap, we just went along the Cam and he just chatted about his time in Cambridge.

“I just love listening to him, it’s like the teacher I never had. So that was a joy.”

Oh my....he certainly better be on next season is all I have to say!
