PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

If you fancy brilliant television drama like “Downton Abbey,” you’ll bloody love Britain’s newest smashing phenomenon: BROADCHURCH!  When BBC America’s BROADCHURCH premiered on television last spring, it became an instant hit, earning widespread critical acclaim and breaking Twitter records throughout the UK.  As audiences across the pond eagerly await season 2 of BROADCHURCH, Fox is readying to bring the U.S. adaptation to American viewers … David Tennant and Anna Gunn (“Breaking Bad”) will star in “Gracepoint” this fall.

Set in contemporary times in the Dorset seaside town of Broadchurch, the mystery begins when the body of 11-year-old Danny Latimer is found on a popular beach just before the onslaught of tourist season.  Through eight gripping episodes that will leave your insides twisted into knots, two deliciously dueling detectives (Colman and Tennant) are brought together by circumstances to solve the murder.  Under the glare of an increasing media spotlight, the two race to find the killer amid the devastated townspeople struggling to keep their close-knit community together while bracing for secrets that will be laid bare.
