Foyle's War

Foyle's War

Foyle's War is a British detective drama television series set during World War II, created by screenwriter and author Anthony Horowitz, and commissioned by ITV after the long-running series Inspector Morse came to an end in 2000. It has aired on ITV since 2002. It was axed in 2007 by director of television Simon Shaps, but positive public demand and a number of complaints about the cancellation prompted ITV to revive the series after its sixth series proved to be a ratings success. Anthony Horowitz suggested on his website that Foyle's War will return for an eighth series in 2013. It was later confirmed by ITV that three episodes had been commissioned for 2013.
