A new trailer has been released for the third season of Broadchurch, with the promise the hit series is 'returning soon'.

The trailer is just over half a minute and sees Olivia Colman's character DS Ellie Miller approaching the victim of a serious sexual assault, and David Tennant's Alec Hardy revealing he's worried that the attacker might strike again.

We also learn that the attack took place at a party and that there's a 'long list of suspects'.

Fans have already taken to social media to express their excitement about the long-awaited return of the ITV drama.


The trailer emerged on YouTube yesterday and the show returns to ITV in February.
