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 renew this show. One of the best on TV.
Please renew Gracepoint. We enjoyed this show immensely.
Loved this show please do not cancel. Watched it with my daughter at first was a little slow but then it took off. Looking forward to a second season
Please renew Gracepoint for another year with the same two lead actors. It would not be the same without them. Gracepoint is great and I want to see more of it.
Thank you ,
Fox never even advertised this series or cross-promoted it. I stumbled upon the show by chance & really liked it. If Fox had done a better job getting the word out, there’d be a 2nd season.
I agree!!! Fox advertised “The Following” like for a month or more and you couldn’t help but want to watch it…Kevin Bacon’s great..
Best show on TV. It should be renewed.
I agree, I watch a lot of shows and Gracepoint by FAR was great!! The writing was great, the location was peaceful and beautiful and the best was all the characters of this small community who we got to know each and everyone of them..I love Anna Gunn and her new boss was outstanding and mysterious…this is one show that should RETURN. there are shows on TV that are repetitious, some of them actually stupid and ridiculous and some I can’t even imagine that producers and directors get together and keep these same monotonous shows on the air.. just to… Read more »
I watched every episode of this series and would watch again next year if it is on, but seems that David Tennant and Anna Gunn are off to Broadway to do shows there, and there is a question of whether they would be available if it was to return. It is a scripted series, and there are all too few of them on TV now.
I enjoyed the show and hope they bring it back….I disagree with Arlene….they left it open to come back…..they did leave it hanging with the last scene!!!
Yes they did..!! because Elle knows her son did this and she’s keeping it to herself & Detective Carver realizes with his own phone and watches what Tom said to him with his father!! and it ended as though he was going to see Elle and confront her…So there should be a second season….
Yes, Emmett realizes that Tom knows more than he’s saying, but he also realizes how fragile the relationships are between parents and children. It’s hard to imagine that he would prefer to prosecute Tom over Joe, or that he is going to track down Ellie and destroy her family even more. He’s too decent a guy. So I think this plotline really is over, but I totally loved it!
Yes we are enjoying this series. Gracepoint is captivating and entertaining. It should stay and should see the rest of the investigation!!
I loved the show from the very beginning. Loved all the characters.
Please bring it back.
I vote renew. I also looked forward to each episode. Please, please don’t cancel it.
GracePoint should definitely be renewed. It kept me wanting guessing the entire time.
It is well worth a look see for a second season
Ditto that!!! I couldn’t wait till Thursday night. never missed an episode and as far as the pace went it should have gone that way because it was a peaceful, beautiful place to live and a small community all with secrets and when the tragedy struck it make you want to watch it more and more..Hope they RE-New this show and make DVDs and I’ll buy all of them…
loved it!!!
Yes yes yes keep Gracepoint!
Yes bring it back!! One of the smartest shows out there. Don’t need anymore fake reality shows
