ITV confirmed that popular murder mystery thriller Broadchurch will return for a second series after more than nine million viewers tuned in to discover the killer of 11-year-old Danny Latimer.
The murderer was unmasked on Monday as Joe Miller, the husband of Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller, played by Peep Show star Olivia Colman.
ITV said the new series, which is set in the Dorset town of Broadchurch and also stars former Doctor Who David Tennant, will go into production next year with plotlines under lock and key.
“We’re delighted to be commissioning a second series of Broadchurch,” said ITV’s director of television Peter Fincham.
“From the moment the murder scene was discovered, viewers became gripped by the series, and we’ve been genuinely thrilled by the audience response.”
