Basic info and plot line
Broadchurch is a British crime drama that pivots on the murder mystery of a young boy and the search by detectives for his killer. Written and created by Chris Chibnall, the series was inspired by the setting of Jurassic Coast of Britain and by the music of Olafur Arnalds, who also composed the soundtrack for the show. The first series debuted on ITV on March 4, 2013, the second series premiered on January 5, 2015 and the third on February 27th, 2017, which will also be the final series for the show.
Set in a fictional small town of Dorset, Broadchurch unveils the murder mystery of an 11-year old boy that has been unfolding for two series. Starring David Tennant as Alec Hardy and Olivia Colman as Ellie Miller, the second series focused on two plot lines: the trial of Joe Miller and the re-opening of the Sandbrook case. To keep the audiences guessing, producers went to great lengths to keep the identity of the murderer a secret even from the actors.
Overall reviews and no series 4
The Award winning British crime series Broadchurch came back very strong after a rather long break of over 2 years between the second and third series. Drawing in over 9 Million viewers per series it was no surprise that after the initial first season the show was renewed for two more series. The overall ratings are still very strong with 8.4 out of 10 stars on IMDb, 9.1 out of 10 on TV.com and an approval rating of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
However, according to David Tennant himself, Broadchurch was originally only meant to have one series, before the idea had come up to do two more. It had always been clear that the show would stop after the third. But another reason for the end of the series could also be the fact that Chris Chibnall is now the new Showrunner for the iconic British TV show Doctor Who, which means that he simply won’t have the time to do both series at once.
