Internationally acclaimed actress Charlotte Rampling to star in new series of Broadchurch on TV3.

 

TV3 confirms it will air the new second series of the hugely popular Broadchurch.

 

Legendary film and television actress Charlotte Rampling will play a pivotal role in the new series.

 

TV3 today confirmed that it will air the new second series of the popular drama Broadchurch. The phenomenally successful and multi award winning series, which captivated viewers when screened on TV3 in 2013, begins filming in the coming weeks. 

 

It has also been announced today that legendary film and television actress Charlotte Rampling is to take a lead role. Charlotte will play a pivotal role in the new series; however details of her character and how she impacts on the drama and small community are being kept under wraps by the production companies, Kudos and Imaginary Friends.

 

Broadchurch creator and executive producer Chris Chibnall is delighted Charlotte Rampling has taken the role:

"Charlotte Rampling! We've been keeping this secret for months, it's been agony!” said Chris. “We have another big story to tell this year, and that meant finding exceptional actors for new roles. There's none more exceptional than Charlotte: to be writing for her is a dream come true. As you can imagine, Charlotte's character is an integral part of our new story -- but that's where we're drawing a veil, for now..."

 

TV3 Director of Content Jeff Ford speaks about the new series of Broadchurch airing on TV3:

“We are delighted to be taking Broadchurch for another series. It was a hugely popular drama when it aired on TV3 back in January and with promising new additions to the cast including Charlotte Rampling, I am confident that the next series will be even more gripping than the first.”

 

Further casting announcements will follow in the coming weeks.
