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. Hope it has another season.
Love this show. Totally hooked on it. Anxioutlying await for it every Thursday. Bummed it is already time for the season finale. PLEARE KEEP THIS SHOW! It’s very different than other shows.
The best!!!!! Please keep it going we are hooked in my house!!!!!!
I freakin love this show. Between Gotham, Red Band Society and this show, this television station has been doing really well this year. If you cancel these two, you will lose me as a viewer. This show has to come back.
My husband and I really enjoyed this show and hope it comes back. We thought the acting was great and the storyline kept us wondering…..Please renew for next season.
PLEASE leave Gracepoint alone!!!! It is a well written and well acted series. Along with some previous people leaving comments…..I do go back and rewatch the episodes to see if I missed any clues Very few shows on TV these days, actually make you think….like Gracepoint does.
Great show. I tape to make sure I see it. The acting is wonderful and the story line. Is gripping.
Love this show. Can’t wait to figure out who did it – definitely different from the other crime dramas out there. The way it really follows the family over a period of time and how grief ends up impacting you in the real world has been especially impressive.
Looks like Fox has already canceled this, but I’ll definitely be watching Broadchurch and the 2nd season planned for that.
this is really a great show. hope there is a second season.
This show is my FAVORITE show, I would love another season
Of tis show.
This is one of the very few shows that I watch and I love it! Totally hooked! The concept is great! One case for the season is brilliant. It draws me in each week, wanting more. I can’t wait to see the finale but sad in way that its the last episode for this season 😉 It’s different and is not like the other so similar detective shows. Give this a chance! I’m begging…..Please don’t cancel!!
My teenage son and I love this show. Love the unraveling of clues each week. Nothing like it on regular TV. Don’t cancel this show!!!!
The series is well acted and is worth a second season. Grace point should be renewed.
Please keep this show! I even go back and watch the previous episodes to try and find clues. There is not any show like this on primetime TV. All shows like this are cable driven with as much cursing and TVMA they can get in to allow to be on cable. Let’s keep something on that is one of the cleanest mysteries on TV. Start something new FOX and listen to the 3+million views.
PLEASE KEEP GRACEPOINT
I have enjoyed this serious! Look forward to watching it every Thursday! Really hope Fox will continue to show another season. I feel more viewers will start watching more if they see it aired again. Gracepoint has a great mystery and keeps you on the edge. Props to the writers! Great show 🙂
Love the show Please keep it coming
I love this show and will be very sad if it is cancelled: One of the best series I’ve seen in a long time….
