The case is closed for Broadchurch. Recently, executive producer Chris Chibnall recently confirmed season three will be the last for the ITV series, Radio Times reports.
The UK drama, which airs on BBC America in the U.S., stars David Tennant and Olivia Colman as two detectives investigating the murder of a young boy in a small seaside town.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Chibnall said season three is it for Broadchurch. There will be no more seasons:
That is it and there will be no more after this one, absolutely. … It’s been an extraordinary journey with the show it has taken us all by surprise. … It’s hard to say goodbye. I’ve asked myself, ‘Why am I walking away from the two best actors in the country?’”
The third and final season of Broadchurch just finished airing on ITV. BBC America has not yet announced a U.S. premiere date for the season, but it is expected to air sometime later this year.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Broadchurch? Are you sad it’s coming to an end?
Please bring Broadchurch back!
Please give us a season 4!!!!!!
I thought the best season was the first, two and three were pretty weak IMHO so I’m ok with it being cancelled, even though I really liked Tennant and Colman.
Will miss the show. I was really hoping for another season.
Will miss the show. Really was hoping for it to continue.
Very sad there will not be a season 4. This was an excellent show.
We have enjoyed all three seasons of Broadchurch. We are so disappointed that the decision has been made not to continue with this fantastic series. There is so much crap on TV and Broadchurch has been a welcome change. The characters, storylines, beautiful scenery and fantastic cinematography should not be walked away from. Please, please reconsider and bring back Broadchurch.
Please, please reconsider a 4th series of Broadchurch.
Totally absorbing and addictive…head & shoulders above anything else in the genre.
I also love this show, and yes I also watched gracepoint , I lived in England for 3 years in early 1990’s, so pretty over there
Love love this show so sad there won’t be any more by far the best series I’ve ever watched with remarkable actors
Sad that this is the last season. Excellent writing, excellent acting and excellent production. Held interest on every level.
Oh, I forgot the mention that the american version was called “Gracepoint.” Just for those who did not know this. It only lasted 2 years. I believe 2014 – 2016. I could be wrong on the timeline. I liked the american version better than the BBC version, as the story lines were slightly different, but both were excellent.
I am very impressed with the David Tennant appearance in both the BBC version and the American version. I would definitely watch another season of either version if it were to air.
yes very much a fan the brits have some of the best written and acted shows anywhere on tv broadchurch is one of the better ones
Incredible show, thank you all concerned!
