While season seven ended on a high, with Will finally getting his happily ever after with village newcomer Bonnie Evans, things aren't going to be plain sailing for both Will and his detective pal Geordie in the upcoming episodes.
The new series promises to be an "explosive" one, tackling themes such as "faith, forgiveness, and redemption", which "tests Will and Geordie to the limit".
The full synopsis reads: "Will is the happiest he's ever been but his world will be rocked by a terrible accident. He's always preached the word of a compassionate God – but how can he now, when his despair leads him on a dangerous downward spiral?

As Mrs C, Leonard, Jack and Daniel rally around, both Will and Geordie find themselves in unfamiliar, emotional waters and murder is always around the corner."
