After over a year of rumours and speculation, RadioTimes.com can exclusively reveal that David Tennant and Olivia Colman will both be returning for the second series of Broadchurch.
The pair – who played crime-solving duo DI Alec Hardy and DS Ellie Miller – will be joined by Jodie Whittaker and Andrew Buchan who portrayed parents of the murdered schoolboy Danny Latimer, as well as Arthur Darvill who will reprise his role as Reverend Paul Coates.
But while the return of the local police force and Latimer family all but confirms the action will remain in Broadchurch, writer Chris Chibnall and his team are keeping silent on what will unfold when the second series hits screens.
"We're delighted Broadchurch is back in production, but we're remaining tight-lipped about how the story develops," said ITV's director of drama, Steve November. "Suffice to say Chris has delivered as always and the scripts are just as exciting as the first series."

Great news! It wouldn't have been the same the same without David Tennant and Olivia Colman.
ReplyDeleteI hope Jonathan Bailey will also return I really liked him.
Good! I really enjoyed the first season and am not too interested in the American version.
ReplyDeleteHow's Tennant going to both do this show and Gracepoint if both are in production at the same time?
ReplyDeleteI think Gracepoint may have finished production or at least has started it a while back,
ReplyDeleteThe Problem is that it all will take place in the same village. So i think that the most people we saw have to be return otherwise i would be unrealistic.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will not just ignore the fallout from the end of last season!
ReplyDeleteAnyone else think that they'll do a flashback season to the case that Hardy didn't solve way back when?
ReplyDeleteOh so glad its coming back for a second season,and with the original cast! And Danny's parents too,great!
ReplyDeleteThe only reason why i will watch the American version is because Tennant is in it. I read an interview he gave about it. I want to see the differences if any he brings to this version compared to the original.It might prove interesting.
ReplyDeleteI hear it's suppose to have a different ending so that's something!
ReplyDeleteI heard something to that effect ,we need something to make it different and fresh!
