No Season 2 for Fox's Mystery-Drama "Gracepoint"

It’s one and done for "Gracepoint". Fox’s just-wrapped mystery drama will not live on beyond its low-rated first season, TVLine has learned.

Although the "Broadchurch" remake was billed as a limited series, the possibility existed for a second season. But the show — which starred David Tennant and Anna Gunn — never made a dent in the Nielsens.

Its October premiere drew a disappointing 4.8 million viewers and a 1.2 demo rating. (Those numbers fell to 4 mil/0.9 for last week’s finale.)



"Gracepoint" fans can take some comfort in knowing the franchise will live on via the original series, "Broadchurch" Season 2 bows on BBC America on Feb. 4.

I watched the first episode on line; and it was kind of like a family type affair. Did not like that Anne Gunn did not get the promotion to first grade detective and now is in the same position as she was before. That "killed the show" for me! LOL!

I watched the entire series, and it was definitely better than the UK version - faster paced, more intense, better characters.

(however I thought they did the ending pretty poorly; for all that build-up it didn't really pay off).

How can you cancel a limited-run mini-series anyways? it was only intended to go for the 10 episode run and had no way for it to go beyond that. The UK version is doing a second series, but is going to be completely different - akin to what they are doing with shows like True Detective or American Horror Story; with different actors, stories, settings etc - mainly just the same writers.

theoretically FOX (or another network) could potentially do an American remake of the second series of the UK version - I suppose it just depends on how well it does and how desperate they get for new shows (which it seems like the nets are getting).
