Last night, FOX aired the Gracepoint finale which wrapped up the mystery of who killed Danny Solano. What’s next?
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.
As fans know all too well, the ratings for Gracepoint have been very poor all season. It looked like the network might pull the series — or at least ship it to Saturday nights — but FOX let all 10 episodes run on Thursday nights.
Gracepoint was billed as a “limited series” but that designation doesn’t seem to mean too much these days. If a show is a ratings success, networks will find a way to keep a show going. If it’s a bomb, limited series or not, a show’s going to be cancelled.
In a recent interview, showrunner Anya Epstein said that last night’s episode wasn’t intended to be a series finale. Broadchurch (the UK show that Gracepoint is based on) was renewed for a second season and the feeling was that Gracepoint could return as well.
Epstein notes, “It was not meant to be self-contained and we have a lot of ideas and a lot of excitement about where it could go. It remains to be seen whether we’ll get a chance to actually do that. It doesn’t seem terribly likely at the moment.”
Since Gracepoint is all-but guaranteed to be cancelled, hopefully the writers will share what they had in mind for season two at some point in the future.
UPDATE: FOX has officiually cancelled the series but…
What do you think? Would you watch a second season of Gracepoint? Were you satisfied with the finale?
Amazing show! Bring it back for another season. That ending left me wanting to know more.
I loved this show! Bring it back for another season. I’m a big fan.
Great writing, acting and intelligent story. Of course the ratings are poor. Americans want to watch reality dribble. Write to Fox and ask for the series to be renewed.
Yes I would definitely watch it again!! Loved it!!
It seems they take take off or cancel a good show but keep airing retarded and silly ones!
Loved this show it was awesome !! Season 2 please ❤️❤️
Great show!! Do not cancel!!! Great acting, great suspense ! Bring it back for another season. Love Gracepoint!
Please make a second season of Gracepoint! We loved every episode and couldn’t wait for Thursday to come around so we could see the next episode. It has great acting and suspense. Please don’t cancel it!!!
My family LOVED the series. It was smart story line with interesting characters and exciting theme that kept us waiting all week for the next episode. PLS have a second season!’
Gracepoint was absolutely brilliant. Started out slowish, but after the second episode I was hooked. Couldn’t wait for Thursdays to come around. I really hope the do a second season.
BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We enjoyed it and looked forward to seeing it every week. We will be disappointed if it is not renewed.
ME AND THE WIFE LOVED GRACEPOINT. WE COULD NOT WAIT FOR TURSDAYS TO COME. PLEASE RENEW!!!!
I thought it was great. It’s sad that most quality US tv shows now are UK remakes. I must say compared to Life on Mars and Being Human, this was done so much better. David Tennant was awesome and Fox did a good job. I want to go and watch Broadchurch now as soon as it’s available through my library.
I would like to see a second season of Gracepoint. Don’t cancel this series, please
Absolutely, bring Gracepoint back! This was one of my favorite shows to watch every week. The acting was so good and did keep you guessing as to who was the killer.
Please bring it back for another season.
