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?
What a great show…u MUST renew or risk disappointing thousands of viewers. Be a shame such positive ratings for FOX
They always take the good shows away. This is a keeper!!!
I love this show. I look forward ton it every week.
Please renew
PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK GRACE POINT I LOVE IT
Please renew it….I live in a retirement complex we started watching it and want it back for another season…..the show held ur attention to the very end…and then u wanted more…there are 12 of us here and we want it back…
PLEASE RENEW RENEW RENEW!!!! I LOVE this show please keep it going.
I really enjoyed all 10 episodes-I binge watched 6 out of the 10. I would definitely enjoy another season. The ending was a true surprise! Great suspense! Excellent acting by the entire cast especially Michael Pena and Virginia Kull.
I watched every episode from day one till the very end, YOU left us that did watch HANGING!!!! At least consider a few more episodes to tie up lose ends or more advertising, I saw others commenting on they “happened upon it by accident” You have plenty of material to work with many dynamics to pursue FRIENDSHIPS SURGERY TWO MOTHER & SON relationships! Please even just a few if not another season.
While I didn’t like the ending, I did enjoy the show up to that point. Great cast, great setting. Would love to see another season.
PS
I came across this drama by ACCIDENT. Never saw any reference to it at all. Too good to dump, but please see previous comment.
Yes, definitely renew, keep, evolve Gracepoint. It was compelling, and I know from reading about the Dan Futterman and Anya Epstein team that they have the energy and talent to keep it all moving intriguingly one way or the other.
good show
Yes keep this show , my husband & I taped it each week and looked forward to it . Loved the twists
KEEP KEEP KEEP! I’m obsessed, great characters played by great actors. Surely there will be another season.
Well written with a nice twist
