Set in the same small Dorset town with the same characters, the storyline appears to centre on a new “secret” brewing in coastal Broadchurch.
Olivia Colman is seen in a dark bedroom asking two children “where were you both the night those two girls disappeared?”, hinting that the next storyline is likely to involve a suspicious abduction of two local girls – and may even implicate her own family again.
While information about the new series has been kept under lock and key, Andrew Buchan told The Independent earlier this year that the second season will be “vastly different” to other murder mystery series on television.
With the storyline looking likely to centre on abducted young girls, could we instead be in for a second dose of a The Missing?
