The suspended producer of Midsomer Murders is to "step down" after the end of the current series, ITV has said.
The show's production company said Brian True-May had been reinstated after apologising for stating that the serial "wouldn't work" if it had more racial diversity.
An ITV spokesman welcomed Mr True-May's apology, adding it was understood he would "step down... at the end of the current production run."
The new series begins on Wednesday.
Last week, Mr True-May was quoted as saying the long-running drama was a "last bastion of Englishness" and should stay that way.
""We are a cosmopolitan society in this country, but if you watch Midsomer you wouldn't think so," he went on.
"I've never been picked up on that, but quite honestly I wouldn't want to change it."
