Gracepoint - Cancelled

5 Dec 2014

Share on Reddit
With next week's season finale of Gracepoint being promoted as the "series finale", FOX has effectively cancelled Gracepoint. Though the show was eyed as a "event series" by FOX, there was an option for the show to return for a second season had the ratings been better.

    Shocking.

    So they basically admit they would have milked this dry if it had better ratings? I just hate how the networks throw around terms like "event series" and then don't commit to it. An option for a sophomore season pretty much makes this an ordinary series with a limited episode order.

    I'm not surprised. For the most part, the acting is crap and it hasn't been a very good show. That said, I will watch the finale just to see If I'm right about who killed Danny.

    Maybe networks will now stop re-making British series that are only a year or two old!
    It's very rare a series a decade or more old works when remade , but a current series being remade will never work.

    This was technically a limited series, which refers to the episode order not being the full 22, as opposed to it being one season only. Networks can call it an "event series" all they like, but it's still a limited series.

    Wasn't the British version cancelled after one or two seasons as well? How is it ever a good idea to bring a show to the US when it wasn't even successful to begin with? David Tennant was my drawl to the show but even he couldn't save it.

    The British version was one of the most acclaimed series of the past decade! It was VERY successful. Season 2 is in production and will air in 2015.

    There have been soooo many red herrings on Gracepoint but I believe I have it figured out. I'm just watching to see if I'm right. I'll take your word on Broadchurch. I had considered watching it but now I won't.

    Erm, FOX said from the beginning that Gracepoint would have a different ending. But if the killer turns out to be Tom in Gracepoint too, I've going to throw something.

    Yeah not shocked considering the ratings. Hope Anna Gunn gets another show soon and well David will be OK he has the British version to fall back on.

  22. DarqueMode5 December 2014 at 18:20

    Right..
    In there defense that was in production before this cancellation, but....
    That series is likely to fail as well!


    Idris Elba makes Luther what it is and having him as Executive Producer and not hte star will not be the same.

  23. DarqueMode5 December 2014 at 18:22

    Yep, well 14 I guess technically.
    Six the first season then 4 episodes in the second and third season.
    I forget how many the upcoming mini-series will have...

    It's a two-part miniseries.

    I can't remember the source, but what I read said that David Tennant moved to Gracepoint because Broadchurch had been cancelled. Maybe they were idiots that didn't check details or maybe they were confused about him leaving the show and moving to Gracepoint. Either way, it's nice to know what's actually up. Thanks.

  29. Mel5 December 2014 at 18:32

    Were the circumstances the same in the British version because I can't figure out why Joe would want to kill Danny? I assumed it was his son, Tom, and that Joe just covered it up.

    Confess that I enjoyed this show a little bit despite the poor acting from most actors.
    It could've been a better show If it hasn't copied Broadchurch so much.

    I didn't watch Broadchurch, but from wikipedia: Joe confesses to strangling Danny after the boy threatened to expose the inappropriate attachment Joe had with him.

    I'm totally confused by this. I didn't even know there was talks of a possible second season as this always seemed like just some mini-series type of event.

    Well, I read the episode summaries of Broadchurch, and apart from the "Tom Miller going missing" storyline, everything else is the same. I'm, really really hoping that the killer is different.

  41. johnhelvete5 December 2014 at 18:45

    This^ Look at the press release for the CBS mini series the Dovekeepers. CBS calls it a "limited event series" even though it is a 4 hour miniseries. Limited series and event series are just network speak for cable length seasons for the most part.

    ReplyDelete
  42. johnhelvete5 December 2014 at 18:48

    Think American Horror Story, True Detective or Fargo, the show could have done an entirely new cast for season 2. Or Anna Gunn could have returned with a mostly new cast for a reboot in season 2 since Tenant would probably have been too busy but the show is cancelled so it does not matter.

  43. Bradley Adams5 December 2014 at 18:49

    The original announcement PR from a year ago says "miniseries", which is what it is. The amount of PR nonsense around nowadays... don't believe it.

    Exactly. I don't get why the networks insist on using "event series" and "limited series" interchangeably despite being two different things.

    Well that's creepy and gross. I never saw that coming since it was Tom who was deleting stuff off of his own phone and computer. I thought it was him. I wonder if it will be the same on Gracepoint. Guess I'll have to stay tuned to find out. Thanks, Babar.

    ReplyDelete
  47. johnhelvete5 December 2014 at 18:59

    I am not sure that they really are two different things. Limited series is cable length series. Event series to me is the networks using a different term to try to get more live viewers. Event series does not mean mini series at least by how the networks are using the term. I would agree that it is just PR nonsense to try to get more live viewers, but the networks are free to spin things anyway they want and I am sure AMC could call The Walking Dead an event series if they wanted to.

  48. johnhelvete5 December 2014 at 19:07

    I thought it was Tom as well when I watched Broadchurch. Gracepoint is changing the killer but it seems that the hard drive will be when Carver realizes who the killer is, so it seems that there can only be two possible killers left.

    No surprise here. As a fan of the original I really wanted to give this a chance, but after struggling through the first 3 episodes, I gave up. I'm anxiously awaiting for Broadchurch, though.

  54. Casey Young5 December 2014 at 21:14

    They were going to do another season if the ratings were better? What were they going to do, kill off another kid to make another mystery? I mean, c'mon FOX, it's called a 10-part series for a reason, right? Just leave it at that.

    Second half the season they switched up things in BC the store owner died in episode 7 and danny's phone was discovered by tracing the call signal which lead to Joe's arrest.


    In GP danny's phone was found in the fisherman house

    This was a copy of a british series call Broadchurch (Though I believe they are choosing a different killer). Their series are typically 3 to 10 episode per season. It was interesting to see Tenant in the same role in both but without the English accent in this one.

  60. Annie M5 December 2014 at 22:31

  62. Edward Delingford5 December 2014 at 23:34

    No surprises. Bad idea, poorly acted, particularly by the leads (Gunn and Tennant were appalling throughout), poorly written and dragged out beyond the limits of toleration. Surely nobody could have thought this could stretch to a second series once the first episode was aired and was greeted with the derision it deserved. Good riddens.

    Strange as on Gracepoint ep 8 review on Tvovermind you overpraised Anna Gunn (as always you just bashing on David Tennant, the object of your hate and your obsession)..btw in the same post you named yourself Helen Woodful before changing 2 hours later in Edward delingford (you have a problem of gender?) after someone answered you http://www.tvovermind.com/review/gracepoint-season-1-episode-8-review-episode-eight-245333

    Same here. Cannot imagine how another murder in such a small town would be realistic for another season. Season-long murder mystery series never do well on TV due to our short attention spans. Too many characters and details to remember for very long. Hard to keep story lines fresh and twists believable. As for "Grace Point", I can't believe they would have an obvious killer unless there was a surprise motive, which is unlikely. I'll be disappointed if there isn't an unexpected twist. I believe Vince helped Tom cover up the crime and Tom killed him. I wonder if it was out of anger, rejected love, or both disagreeing over how to respond to sexual abuse (hence computer evidence). Hmmmm......

    We will soon find out if it works when Broadchuch premieres its second season. I have no idea how that will work with the same cast and crew, it will be interesting to see what they do with it. As for Gracepoint I'm am still set on the killer being Paul.

  70. Aquaman8710 December 2014 at 07:34

    Just looked up Broadchurch. Doubt they will have a different twist/culprit but looking back I can say, "aaaaaah!" and smile knowingly. Kinda like reading the last chapter early but maybe.... just maybe.....

    Did you realize Law & Order: UK is actually one of the rare, if not only, American show adapted in the UK? Some of the first season story lines were modified from early L&O episodes. It is interesting to see the similarities and differences between the two systems. Worth checking out if you haven't. (sorry for the unsolicited spam)

  71. Robert Fruin10 December 2014 at 08:57

    I will be disappointed if Gracepoint ends with the same killer as Broadchurch's, as not only would it not make much sense it would also pretty much mean I have been watching the same show again.


    I haven't seen Law and Order, I have actually started to distance myself from crime drama's, as I find that they all share a lot of similarities. I may watch it one day, but not anytime soon.

    I guess I'll have to watch broadchurch to see what happens, because personally I don't think he was about to molest Danny what I think was really going on is Danny was going to tell his mother that he knew who his real father was and I think Tom showed up at the wrong time and accidentally killed Danny which he did. What I think is this idiot is willing to go to prison for a crime he didn't do just to cover up an affair he had 13 years ago. The reason I say this if you remember Tom's mother & father and Danny's mother & father and with the prest were all close friends all through their childhoods into adults to think some screwing around didn't happen

    Anna Gunn was solid, but their chemistry together wasn't an improvement to Tennant & Coleman in Broadchurch for me. Overall directing, cast and the overall flow of Broadchurch felt more genuine compared to the FOX version.
