ITV is expected to announce soon when Endeavour series 9 will be screened.
It was the end of an era in August when Shaun Evans, who plays a young Inspector Morse, and Roger Allam, who plays DI Fred Thursday, filmed their last ever scenes in Oxford.
Film crews were at Parson's Pleasure, St John's Street and Turl Street, where Shaun Evans was seen near a joke shop.

ITV has confirmed that Endeavour series 9 will be the last series but it has not yet revealed the precise dates for the new episodes.
Endeavour fans say they expect the three new episodes to be screened at the end of February the beginning of March - on February 26, March 5 and March 12.
But ITV said there would be no announcement until February 15 when the schedule pattern had been finalised.
According to the website britishperioddramas.com the final season’s opening episode is set in the spring of 1972, and directed by Shaun Evans.
The synopsis for the story reads: "Two unexplained deaths turn up ties to the Oxford Concert Orchestra, while a body discovered in a derelict warehouse stokes fears that ‘London business’ has yet again found its way to Oxford.

“Thursday and Endeavour’s investigation unearths some unsettling connections to cases the duo believed were well and truly behind them.
The Inspector Morse spin-off starring Shaun Evans and Roger Allam launched in 2012 and scenes have been shot on location in the city ever since.
The long-running Morse franchise is based on the novels of Colin Dexter, and the Endeavour series follows the Inspector Morse series and the Lewis series.
The Inspector Morse series, starring John Thaw and Kevin Whately, ran from 1987 to 2000, and was then followed by Lewis, featuring Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox, from 2006 to 2015.
Jericho resident John Mair, who is organising a 'Morsefest' day of celebrations on Saturday, March 4, said it was only right to celebrate the conclusion of the Inspector Morse franchise as it had benefitted Oxford so much.
He said earlier: "It really is a significant end of an era now that Endeavour is finishing - Morse has been on our screens for about 36 years.

"There will never be another Morse and I wanted to do something to recognise the legacy of Morse.
"People have great memories of the series, and I think the Morse franchise has done a lot for Oxford - it has also built the profile of certain colleges.
"Morse has been hugely popular in America and indeed all over the world."
