This mystery drama is based on the popular Broadchurch TV show from the UK. The original series was so successful that a second season was ordered. FOX is billing Gracepoint as an “event series” but could it be renewed as well? Conversely, could it be cancelled before all 10 episodes have aired? Stay tuned.
Gracepoint begins when a young boy is found dead on an idyllic beach in the small northern California town of Gracepoint. 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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Update: FOX has cancelled this series after one season but…
Final season averages: 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.63 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Gracepoint TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love it!!! Please don’t cancel it. Cancel some reality show instead.
We loved it! Watched the whole series in 3 days and could not get away from it. Great writing, great plot and the story unfolded in exciting who done it suspense from beginning right to the very end. Hope to see a second season….lots of story lines left!
Gracepoint was my favorite show this season. I hope it does come back next season. I completely enjoyed it.
PPS
There so little of value to watch on cable or network, but this one-case format offers depth and layers that the typical, formulaic dramas do not.
PLEASE renew! This show is SO good!
I’d love Gracepoint to be renewed!
I really enjoyed Gracepoint. It reminded me of The Killing only not as dark. I would be happy if you renewed it.
Watched first eps and last only as I had seen Broadchurch on BBCA. Knew they’d go for the same end. We didn’t get to see what happenned to the other townspeople, the reporter, the newspaper owner, the hotel owner etc. Liked Anna Gunn and the actress who played Beth. Just like Broadchurch, they were the best written and acted roles. Didn’t like David Tennant in this at all, partly the weird growly wobbly accent, but also he just never got off low grear and was acted off the screen by Anna Gunn in the last episode. Not as bad as… Read more »
One of the BEST shows on tv!!!! Please renew!!!! I LOVE this show!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! 🙂
Missed opportunity. You could see the bones of a reasonable show underneath the turgid mess that Gracepoint became. If Fox had more courage, they could have taken the same characters and setting and broad plot lines but tweaked things further. Interesting that the episode most people liked was the one where the plot deviated and Tom went missing. If they had sticked to that and ditched the completely unnecessary and dire David Tennant in favour of a better actor and one not associated with the original, I think they could have had a modest hit on their hands. Instead they… Read more »

Yes, RENEW! I want to see if the detective lives through his surgery and falls in love with the lady detective.
Renew, a follow up season would be awesome!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RENEW RENEW RENEW RENEW RENEW RENEW RENEW. I LOVE this show. It was amazing. I’d be devastated if it weren’t. The way they ended it leaves it opened for another season, and I hope that to be true. Such a superb show. Well written, acted, show, etc. Keeps me wanting more, and angry I have to wait until the next Thursday. One of… Read more »
Boring. Totally over-hyped.
Could have been done better in a single episode of SVU
One reason I don’t watch SVU or CSI or any of those shows.
Please don’t cancel. Every night I would change my mind as who could have done it.
I know it couldn’t have a happy ending. The writers are very clever and the actors were great. I still get the chills thinking about it. I also hope for a second season.
