The Broadchurch TV show was a success in the UK so FOX decided to remake it here — with one of the same lead actors. Though Gracepoint is being promoted as a limited series, FOX will surely want to make a second season if it’s a hit (as is being done with Broadchurch). What do you think? Should it be renewed or cancelled?
Gracepoint begins when a young boy is found dead on an idyllic beach in a small northern California town. The tragedy and media frenzy soon turns neighbor against neighbor as the police try to figure out what happened. The cast includes David Tennant, Anna Gunn, Michael Peña, Virginia Kull, Madalyn Horcher, Kendrick Sampson, Nick Nolte, Jacki Weaver, Kevin Rankin, Sarah-Jane Potts, , Stephen Louis Grush, Kevin Zegers, Jessica Lucas, and Nikolas Filipovic.
The show debuted on October 2nd to a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.76 million viewers. It was a poor start to be sure and the series was in fourth place in its timeslot. The second episode dropped 25% in the demo to a 0.9 rating with just 3.8 million viewers. It seems likely that tonight’s episode will perform even worse.
Even though FOX is really struggling right now, these numbers are already terrible. There’s very little chance that they’ll consider bringing Gracepoint back for another season. Fortunately for the viewers who are watching, the season finale should wrap up the show.
Will the network cancel Gracepoint before all 10 episodes have aired? There’s a chance but it seems unlikely considering the state of the rest of their schedule. If they do drop it prematurely, they’d surely release the remaining episodes online.
But, what do you think? Are you enjoying Gracepoint? Will you watch until the end? Would you consider watching a second season with a new mystery or is 10 episodes enough?
I really enjoy Gracepoint. This is the only show on right now like this, with the expectation of The Killing. That was a good show too. There are too many scripted reality shows on that are dumb and boring. Here is a good show that makes you think and keeps you engaged. Just because the ‘numbers’ are where the executives thought they should be, did the executives ever think, these are the smart people watching and all the other people are watching re-runs or dumb fake, scripted reality shows? What number is too low to say it’ not worth keeping?… Read more »
Please keep “Gracepoint ” going I think it is the best show on right now. The quality of the actors is really above most TV shows. It feels like a real movie it is so well done. I do not understand why it would not be given more time. I can’t wait each week for it to come on.
Love the actors. Quality TV for a change. Please don’t cancel give it more time!
Please don’t cancel this show – I absolutely love it!
Noo ! Don’t cancel please !!
WHY! Yet another really great TV show and the viewers are left in the dark. Fox has always had great series on it and THIS IS one of them. When you think of all the c–p that is on the other stations (may I dare to mention 2 Broke Girls and Two & A Half Men), to finally get something of substance means a lot for many viewers, but I guess we are all “stupid” and don’t know what the TV executives know!!!!
They better keep it on. I think I know who did it & I want to know if I’m rite. I will be so mad if they cancel. Keep it on! There’s a lot of good shows to watch. I stopped watchin Two & an Half Men to watch Gracepoint. I luv mysteries. Keep it on!
Are you kidding me? We finally got fully sucked in to this show, and NOW you may drop it??? WTH This is and has been the only worthwhile show on Fox. arrrggghh
The show was only billed as a ten episode event and the actors weren’t contracted to do more than one season. If it had been popular it likely would have gotten a second one, but it is not in danger of being “cancelled” before the season ends. The last two episodes will air and the mystery will be resolved.
I really enjoy Gracepoint. I like the fact that it is like chapters in a good novel growing the characters and the plot progressively. I particularly like that it is basically one story that I expect to have a conclusion and then be essentially over.
The character chemistry is good enough to have them featured in another complete story and I would watch at least one more.
I live Grace point. Why do you cancel shows and not give them a chance. You never marketed the show. You need to advertise the show. Please bring it back.
The show has been so good. I think dragging it out to 10 episodes may have hurt it’s chances, but I love getting to see David on American tv. He is so brilliant!!! If you had marketed it better and even now….you should be advertising it more, it would’ve done better. Thursday was a crap night to put it on. It’s like you wanted it to fail. You would be so foolish to not do the second season of Gracepoint! Broadchurch is so amazing and it rocked the world. David is the most brilliant and talented actor. To lose him… Read more »
C’mon, we all know Tommy and Joe did it. Why else would he deleted all those SMS messages that lured Danny to the cliff?
Great show Jokejob. Everyone’s a suspect!
Yes, you cant leave us hanging there! We will be watching a second series.
PLEASE keep the show Grace Point. I love murder mysteries. This show brings excitement to my Thursday nights and it is really a great show. All the actors are great and I love David Tennant.please please please!!!
Yes, keep the show, you have viewers keep them, I wnat to watch this show.
Please finish the show. It is well done and deserves the be concluded correctly. Another season would be great.
It is so good to try to figure out who killed danny. I loved broadchurch and I am glad fox brought gracepoint please renew or at least finish finale give it another chance
