Last week we reported that ITV had commissioned a made-for-television prequel movie to the long-running crime drama Inspector Morse called Endeavour. (We misspelled it in our original post, leaving out the "u".)
Now we're learning that PBS's Masterpiece Mystery! will air the stand-alone movie next year to mark the 25th anniversary of the first Inspector Morse episode. Crime novelist Colin Dexter created the character, which was played by John Thaw over a period of 13 years.
Shaun Evans will star as the rookie Detective Constable Endeavour Morse in a storyline set in Oxford in 1965.
Masterpiece Mystery! already airs the Inspector Morse spin-off, Inspector Lewis, with a new season of four episodes to begin September 4th.
