BROADCHURCH writer Chris Chibnall has hinted the second series of the smash hit crime drama could be filmed in West Bay.
The Bridport-based writer and producer has refused to confirm whether he has again cast West Bay in a leading role in the hotly awaited Broadchurch 2, to be filmed next year.
But in an exclusive interview with Dorset Echo sister paper the Bridport News – the role model for the ‘Broadchurch Echo’ – Mr Chibnall gave a tantalising hint that he had not forsaken the Jurassic Coast location.
He said: “We haven’t said anything about what we are doing in Broadchurch 2 yet, so I can’t confirm or deny anything at this point.
“But I am a local boy and have been for 10 years now and one of the reasons I wrote Broadchurch was that it is a love letter to the area.”
He added: “Everyone round here has got behind it and made it their own and taken ownership of the idea of Broadchurch.”
