David Tennant Returns for Third Series of Broadchurch

Stars David Tennant and Olivia Colman are set to return for a third series of ITV’s award-winning and critically acclaimed drama “Broadchurch,” produced by Kudos and Imaginary Friends Productions, written and created by Chris Chibnall. 

David Tennant (“Doctor Who”) and Olivia Colman (Locke) will reprise their roles as Alec Hardy and Ellie Miller for the third series. Details of other cast members, and filming dates, will be confirmed at a later date.

ITV’s Director of Drama Steve November and Controller of Drama Victoria Fea have commissioned the new series which will be written by Chris Chibnall once again. The executive producer team will remain the same with Chris Chibnall alongside Jane Featherstone.

“Chris Chibnall knows exactly how to keep viewers guessing and I’m delighted that he is going to take the story onto the next stage,” said November.

Chibnall said, “We’ve been overwhelmed that nine million people every week have continued to join us on the twists and turns of ‘Broadchurch.’ This third chapter has been a glint in my eye for a long time and I’m thrilled to be writing these characters once again.”

A 10-part US remake of the series titled “Gracepoint” aired on FOX last year with Tennant reprising his role opposite Anna Gunn (“Breaking Bad”), but the series was not renewed for a second season.
