Series three will be the show’s final outing, a decision made by head writer Chris Chibnall.
Once Broadchurch ends, the show’s creator Chris Chibnall will be departing ITV for rival channel BBC where he’ll replace Steven Moffat as the head writer of Doctor Who.
Next year will bring television viewers a brand new series of ITV crime mystery Broadchurch, and a first look teases more doom and gloom for residents of the fictional town.
The first series earned smash ratings when it first aired in 2013 and, despite the second series’ dip in quality in 2015, the series continued to pull in healthy figures.
