PanARMENIAN.Net - The first teaser trailer for series 3 of Broadchurch has dropped - and it is seriously moody, Digital Spy said.

In the latest (very) short clip, viewers are treated to a lot of brooding, pensive faces. David Tennant's detective Alec Hardy looks particularly troubled as he stares out into the sea.

The first look - or glimpse - at the next instalment of ITV's hit drama series follows the first official preview of Olivia Colman and David Tennant back in action.

Also joining detectives Hardy and Miller is Coronation Street's Julie Hesmondhalgh, who is set to play the mysterious Trish Winterman.

The third series will reunite the two troubled detectives as they investigate a sexual assault in the aftermath of the tragic Danny Latimer murder case.

Someone else returning for the new series is Arthur Darvill, who reprises the role of Reverend Paul Coates.

Chatting to Digital Spy, Arthur revealed that the show's next outing is set to be more like the first - brilliant but heavy.

"This series, I think, is just going to be brilliant," he said. "I can't tell you too much about it, but the subject matter of it is really heavy.

"I loved the second series of Broadchurch - I think it was really necessary to tell that part of the story - but I think this series has more of the feel of the first series."

Broadchurch returns to ITV and BBC America for its final series in 2017.
