Broadchurch is a British crime drama television series broadcast on ITV for three series between 2013 and 2017. It was created by Chris Chibnall, who acted as an executive producer and wrote all 24 episodes and produced by Kudos in association with Imaginary Friends Productions Ltd. The series is set in Broadchurch, a fictional English town on the coast of Dorset and focuses on Detective Inspector Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman). Other members of the ensemble cast appearing in all three seasons are Jodie Whittaker, Andrew Buchan, Arthur Darvill, Carolyn Pickles, Jonathan Bailey, Matthew Gravelle, Charlotte Beaumont and Adam Wilson.
The first series, which premiered on 4 March 2013, focuses on the death of local 11-year-old Daniel \"Danny\" Latimer and the impact of grief, mutual suspicion and media attention on the town. Danny's family, his mother, Beth (Jodie Whittaker), father, Mark (Andrew Buchan) and sister, Chloe (Charlotte Beaumont), is a key focus. The second series, which premiered on 5 January 2015, follows the dual story lines of bringing Danny's killer to justice and a case from the past returning to haunt Hardy. The third and final series, which premiered on 27 February 2017, focuses on the rape of a local woman (Julie Hesmondhalgh) at a birthday party, while the Latimer family goes to extreme lengths to move on from Danny's death. Chibnall has stated that the third series was the last and that he had originally envisioned Broadchurch as a trilogy.[2]
The series' location was partly inspired by the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, where Chibnall lived.[7][8] Chibnall says that he initially did not have a location in mind for the series, but the opportunity to improve his work-life balance made setting the show in Dorset appealing.[6] From 2006 to 2011, Chibnall spent most of his time travelling about the UK and Ireland, working on Torchwood, Law & Order: UK and Camelot. By setting the show in Dorset, Chibnall did not have to spend time away from his home and family. His decision to set the show on the Jurassic Coast also helped him generate more ideas and tighten the writing.[6] For example, Dorset-born poet and author Thomas Hardy's surname was used for one of the main characters (DI Alec Hardy). Hardy's use of the term \"Wessex\" was used to name the fictional Wessex Police,[5][9] and character Jack Marshall reads the Hardy novel Jude the Obscure.[9]
In autumn 2011,[7] Chibnall pitched Broadchurch to Laura Mackie,[9] the Head of Drama at ITV, who proved very enthusiastic about the proposal. Just a few days after she finished reading the scripts, she suggested that Chibnall contact Kudos, a production company.[7] Mackie then brought the show to ITV Director of Television Peter Fincham.[5] Broadchurch was green-lit by Fincham almost immediately[6] for airing in early 2013.[7]
Rehearsal on Broadchurch was kept to a minimum.[14][32] To heighten the raw and tension-filled tone of the show, actors were often prevented from seeing the space they were to perform in until shooting began.[32] Almost no improvisation of dialogue occurred on the set.[15] A heavy reliance was also placed on getting the first take right. Director James Strong believed the first take was more spontaneous and more natural than subsequent takes. Subsequently, most of what the viewer sees in Broadchurch series one are first takes.[14]
Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall had long been a fan of Icelandic composer and musician Ólafur Arnalds,[c] and owned all of his albums. While writing Broadchurch, Chibnall listened constantly to Ólafur's music. He later told Ólafur that the \"entire feel of the show was inspired by\" his music.[43]
Ólafur agreed to join the production in December 2012.[44] To compose the music for the first series of Broadchurch, Ólafur read the show's scripts to put himself in the right mood. He also researched sounds which might be heard in the Dorset area. He then improvised at the piano and composed several themes, some for the series as a whole and some for characters. Ólafur also composed certain sounds using synthesisers and electronic sound generators to go with certain spaces, such as the cliffs. Once he saw the completed footage for the first episode, he rearranged some themes to fit the imagery and composed some new themes as well. Because there was so little time between his being hired and the air date, Ólafur composed very quickly and spent very long days at work. He had just four months to generate about 30 minutes of sound and music for each episode, spending one-and-a-half to two weeks on the music for each episode.[43] Despite the time crunch, Ólafur credited Chibnall's relaxed attitude as the key to the music's success.[45]
The music for Broadchurch deliberately avoided a typical orchestral score, which Ólafur felt sounded too large and perfect. The score was written for a string quartet and piano, accompanied by electronic sound.[43] Recording, which took just five days,[43] was done in an empty church in Reykjavik.[18] The musical soundtrack to Broadchurch series one includes four pieces: \"So Close\" (the only one to have lyrics), \"Suspects\", \"Arcade\", and \"Broken\".[18] \"So Close\" plays at the end of each episode. Ólafur collaborated with the singer Arnór Dan of the Icelandic band Agent Fresco, with whom he had worked on his third studio album, For Now I Am Winter, released in February 2013. Arnór wrote the vocal melody, while Ólafur wrote the rest of the song. Chibnall contributed the lyrics.[43] According to Chibnall, the song holds clues to the killer's identity.[18]
The Broadchurch (Music From the Original Soundtrack) extended play album was released on 15 April 2013 by Mercury Classics, a division of Decca Records.[46] A second edition that includes songs from the first two series (excluding \"Broken\" from the first edition) was released in January 2015.[47][48]An album for the third series, titled Broadchurch - The Final Chapter (Music from the Original TV Series) was released on 1 April 2017.[49]Some of Ólafur's work for Broadchurch appears in the trailer for the Fantastic Four movie reboot.[50]
The first series of Broadchurch was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United Kingdom by Acorn Media UK on 20 May 2013.[51] The series was released on DVD in the United States on 1 April 2014 by Entertainment One.[52]
After the first series ended, ITV announced that Broadchurch would return for a second series.[53] The show's creator, Chris Chibnall, told The Daily Mirror in the summer of 2013 that \"the focus of the next series will be on how the shattered community rebuilds itself after the grisly events\" of series one.[54] Series one actor Will Mellor, who does not appear in series two,[55] strongly implied in an interview that a new murder would not be the focus of the second series,[54] while David Tennant told the Associated Press that the series would go in a \"very unexpected direction\" which he called \"as gripping as the first season.\"[56] Chibnall said he mapped out the show's plot and characters on several whiteboards in his office. \"You have to be very methodical,\" he said about plotting Broadchurch. \"It's like a mathematical puzzle where you put all these blocks together and move them around for the most satisfying thing.\"[57]
On 12 April 2016, ITV officially announced the casting for the third and final series, with Jodie Whittaker, Andrew Buchan, Arthur Darvill, Carolyn Pickles and Adam Wilson returning. Filming for the third series began in May 2016 and broadcast started on 27 February 2017.[citation needed] Miller and Hardy investigate a serious sexual assault. Creator Chris Chibnall said, \"We have one last story to tell, featuring both familiar faces and new characters. I hope it's a compelling and emotional farewell to a world and show that means so much to me.\"[98]
Series one of Broadchurch won critical acclaim.[105][106] On Rotten Tomatoes, the first series has an approval rating of 94% based on 36 reviews, with an average rating of 8.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads \"Well written and beautifully shot, Broadchurch is a deliberate, slowly unfolding mystery procedural with terrific performances from a fine cast.\"[99] Metacritic gives the first series a weighted average score of 91 out of 100, based on 30 reviews, indicating \"universal acclaim\".[100] Radio Times named it the best television series of 2013,[4] and Entertainment Weekly called it \"a bona fide national obsession\" in the UK.[13]
The first episode of Broadchurch series one was seen by an average of 9.1 million viewers (31 percent audience share). This included 6.15 million live viewers (25.2 percent audience share), with another 716,000 viewers (4.4 percent) on time-delayed viewing via digital video recorder, timeshifted channels (+1) and similar media and technologies.[107] This was the best premiere episode of a weekday new drama series in the United Kingdom since ITV's Whitechapel debuted in January 2009. Broadchurch attracted an average weekly audience of 7.1 million \"live\" viewers during its run. After accounting for time-delayed viewing, Broadchurch averaged 9.2 million viewers per episode.

Olivia Colman won Best Actress, David Bradley won Best Supporting Actor and the show was named Best Drama Series.[115] The show competed for the BAFTA Audience Award, but lost to \"The Day of the Doctor\" (Doctor Who), which Tennant also starred in.[115] At the BAFTA Craft Awards, Ólafur Arnalds won Best Original Television Music, while James Strong was nominated for Best Director-Fiction for \"Episode One\", Mike Jones was nominated for Best Editing-Fiction for \"Episode Eight\", Catrin Meredydd as nominated for Best Production Design and Chris Chibnall was nominated for Best Writer-Drama.[116] 59ce067264
