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 like Gracepoint. It is well-cast with interesting characters. Look forward to it each week.
Love Gracepoint! Great cast! Please renew! It’s refreshing to have a good mystery show for a change.
bring it back. i don’t watch alot of tv…but this show is one i did watch every week.
well written, mysterious and made me think deep into who it could be?
Please bring it back. I’m hooked and it does replay like most of the other series do. I really think it just hasn’t found it’s audience yet.
I really enjoyed every episode, I really hope there is more to come.
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!! ITS THE BEAT SHOW EVER!!! MY WHOLE FAMILY LOVES IT
Please, please bring it back for another season we that do watch it need to see whats next.. Please. Thank you….
Pleeeeeease, bring Gracepoint back for a second season!!!!
My family & I sit together to watch it. We talk about it. We want more!
it was one of the best shows!! great drama & susoense!
I was shocked at the end!!!! I am hoping there will at least be a spinoff or a 2nd season at least.
it would be pretty cool if they’d come up with a new story, similar plot
Keep it! I really enjoy this series and the detectives, the main characters, are superb actors.
I love the show because it was very unique and clean cut. They showed that you could do a good mystery without gratuitous sex and violence. It was not like all the other shows which are copies of copies – same old worn out plots, but this kept us watching and kept us guessing at every turn. The two main detectors were the best actors so make sure you keep them on. Please keep it going another season or two or three…
Detectors = detectives lol
Great mystery. Should renew this show as it is much better than most series out there, period!!!!
BRING IT BACK!
Was very disappointed. Not a very just ending and not good for the boy to know that his dad is in prison as a result of something he did, albeit an accident. Can’t really see the point of another episode although I enjoyed this one. Just wish the ending would have been fairer.
Grace point hooked me from the beginning and I want to see what happens. Will Elle decide to do the right thing or run. I need another season to answer my questions. Please keep the show. I didn’t miss one single episode!
Bring it back! I absolutely loved the 1st season!
People are too much into these stupid reality shows, with all the wrong drama. Grace point is real life drama! All these kinds of good shows, just don’t stand a chance unfortunately!!
