ITV has announced that Broadchurch will return at the start of  next year.

Season 2 will see Eve Myles, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, James D’Arcy and Phoebe Waller-Bridge join the hit crime drama, alongside returning cast members David Tennant, Olivia Colman, Jodie Whittaker, Andrew Buchan and Arthur Darvill.

The new teaser features Tennant’s character Alec Hardy saying: “There was a boy, and he was killed. I caught the killer. So why am I still here?”

Another teaser features Colman’s character Ellie Miller saying: “There was a boy, and he was killed. What happened then destroyed my family, my job and my town. So what do I do now?”

Creator Chris Chibnall commented earlier this year: “As if we didn’t have enough fabulous actresses, it’s a thrill to be joined by Wales’ finest, Eve Myles. Having worked together on Torchwood, it’s a joy to be able to welcome her to Broadchurch.”

The US remake of Broadchurch, titled Gracepoint, is currently airing on Fox in the US and will air in the UK at a later date.
