The New Zealand premiere of the final series of Broadchurch will be on Sunday 5th March at 8.30pm on TVNZ 1. David Tennant and Olivia Colman return as Alec Hardy and Ellie Miller as the mismatched detectives reunite for their last case together. 

This time Hardy and Miller will be tracking down the perpetrator of a serious sexual assault following a disclosure by a woman called Trish (Julie Hesmondhalgh) who presents herself at Broadchurch police station after she is attacked at a party. With the familiar faces around the town as well as a host of new characters, there are plenty of suspects to investigate - and Hardy and Miller have their own family issues to deal with as well. Jodie Whittaker, Arthur Darvill and Andrew Buchan also return, with Lenny Henry, Sarah Parish, Mark Bazeley and Roy Hudd joining the cast.
