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?
Love this show. PLEASE don’t cancel it It is a great mystery. Anxious to find out who killed Danny but I don’t want the show to end!
Best show by far on TV. Please renew for another season.
KEEP PLS!!!! So many levels this is so good… Needs to sharpen but really has great potential. Need to develop faster pace & contrast sure hope good multileveled plot gets the chance to develop
My husband & I love this show! Maybe Netflix would pick it up, like it did Longmire (another wonderful show that got canceled).
Love Gracepoint- please do not Cancel- Bring it back for another season. With so much reality garbage shows on TV that don’t get cancelled, it’s time for a quality TV show to keep on the air. Yes for Gracepoint !!!!
Keep please
Maybe it would have done better if it wasn’t the same as Broadchurch.
Love David Tennant! DON’T CANCEL Gracepoint!
There is a group of friends watching Gracepoint faithfully. Is a really really good mystery that all of us have enjoyed. Please please do another one!
Why do all of the quality shows get cancelled and the inane reality shows keep coming back? Gracepoint was so well constructed and drew us in each week. We need more TV like this!
I have really enjoyed the series and I hope there will be a second season. This was filmed in the municipality I live in Oak Bay, which is in Victoria B.C. We would all love them to come back and film a second season!
This is by far one of the best shows. I haven’t enjoyed a show this much since Davinci’s Inquest. Fox needs to give the show another season and definitely finish this season by airing all the episodes!
Love this show!!! I can’t wait for each episode! I hope they bring it back for a second season.
Keep!!!!! I love shows like this. Why are all the really good shows cancelled.
Very suspenseful. Don’t cancel. Who cares about the ratings. They make enough money.
Don’t cancel the show! I really enjoy it every week and can’t wait to see what happens next. Love the characters and think too many good shows like this one get cancelled and the horrible shows get renewed! give it another chance and sign it on for another season!!
This is a very well written and interesting series !!! Please keep it going !!!! I love the actors and characters, I would love to see more stories about them !!!!!
