Both ITV and Chris Chibnall have confirmed that Broadchurch will not be returning for season 4 because it was always meant to be a trilogy with three seasons. The story of Broadchurch can be continued with a spinoff or a prequel featuring a different cast.

But even though it's taking pains to be accurate to the real experience of victims, Broadchurch has never really been a ripped-from-the headlines series.
ITV is to remove programmes including Broadchurch and Victoria from Netflix as it plans to launch a rival site with the BBC and Channel 4, according to reports. Chief executive Carolyn McCall said subscriptions to the ITV Hub have increased this summer, largely thanks to Love Island and the World Cup.
