Gracepoint is an American crime drama television series created by Chris Chibnall. It is a remake of Chibnall's UK drama series Broadchurch, and stars that series' lead, David Tennant, along with Anna Gunn, as two detectives investigating the murder of a boy in a small, tightly knit coastal town.
The series premiered on October 2, 2014, on Fox. The network promoted the show's 10-episode run as a "limited series".
It was announced in August 2013 at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour that American television network Fox would develop an American version of Broadchurch, a critically acclaimed British series that had successful broadcasts in both the UK on ITV and the U.S. on BBC America. Chris Chibnall wrote the premiere episode and was executive producer of the series. Production began in January 2014 for a spot in Fox's 2014 fall season. The American adaptation was retitled as Gracepoint.James Strong, director of the majority of the original series, directed several episodes of Fox's adaptation.
Fox executives specifically said Gracepoint would have a different ending from Broadchurch.
On October 2, 2013, David Tennant was confirmed to be starring as Detective Emmett Carver. Tennant also stars in the U.K. crime drama Broadchurch, on which Gracepoint is based. On November 18, 2013, two more actors joined, with Anna Gunn as Detective Ellie Miller and Jacki Weaver as Susan Wright.
