Fans of the British crime drama “Broadchurch,” starring David Tennant (“Doctor Who”) and Olivia Colman (“Peep Show”), have waited 22 months to hear any news about the third season of the series. Now, BBC America has finally released a ten-second teaser that promises the acclaimed series will return in 2017. The teaser also shows brief images of the Broadchurch cliff, quick shots of Tennant and Colman as Detectives Alec Hardy and Ellie Miller and a look at the return of Reverend Paul Coates, played by Arthur Darvill (“Legends of Tomorrow”).
