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?
please keep this show I got hooked on it. My boyfriend even enjoyed it. That is saying a lot. I got my mom watching. I look foward to Thursday nights. After this last episode I need more. Please!!!
I love the show my mom and i talks about it over the phone. Hopefully they will be a 2nd season:-)
This was a great show to watch. Each week left you thinking “who did it”. We would certainly watch a second season. A lot of our friends watch Gracepoint faithfully every Thursday night.
FOXTV has to continue Grace Point the ending left the viewers hanging wondering what is going to happen next. It’s an awesome show watched it every Thursday wondering who might be the killer!
Gracepoint has been the best show on TV. The acting is excellent. This should be nominated for an Emmy/Golden Globe. I cannot believe the ratings, I expected them to be high. Every TV show that is worth watching never gets good reviews, has reality TV brainwashed everyone? This show kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t wait for Thursday night to come. Thank you to the actors, writers, directors and everyone connected to this mystery. It has been one of the best TV shows I ever watched. Fox, please bring it back!
Keep the shoe
I absolutely love this show.
Based on the finale episode they definitely need to do a second season.
Its time to keep the great shows on tv for a change.
GracePoint is TOTTS a 5 star show all i have to say this show better not get canceled I mean seriously ?!! The show is full of mysterious way and etc and I love it it’s addicting anyways when I saw the ending of GracePoint and they found who Danny killers are and Decective Carter was watching that interview of Joe & Tom On his phone and called Toms mom and he started walking and that was the ended I cried when my mom said there might not be another season ..!!
