Broadchurch season 3 release date confirmed

ITV’s Broadchurch is returning for a third season and the premiere date for episode one has been unveiled.

The crime drama series is back for a new series after popular demand and ITV has finally given fans a date to put in their diaries.

DI Alec Hardy and DS Ellie Miller will return to our television screens on Monday 27 February at 9pm and in this series we will see the pair investigate a serious sexual assault.

The horrific incident took place at a party and, with the rapist still on the loose, Hardy and Miller will be under more pressure than ever to solve the crime as quickly as possible.

Joining leads David Tennant (Hardy) and Olivia Colman (Miller), Julie Hesmondhalgh, Sir Lenny Henry, Charlie Higson, Sarah Parish and Georgina Campbell will also be making an appearance this series.

The new season trailer has dropped ahead of the premiere…and it’s looking pretty intense.

Actor Arthur Darvill has spoken about the third season and has told fans to prepare for a series much like the first.

He told Digital Spy: “This series, I think, is just going to be brilliant. I can’t tell you too much about it, but the subject matter of it is really heavy.

“I loved the second series of Broadchurch – I think it was really necessary to tell that part of the story – but I think this series has more of the feel of the first series.”

Broadchurch returns Monday February 27 at 9pm on ITV1.
