• Although the story is based in California, it was actually filmed in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
• Gracepoint is a ten-episode series whereas Broadchurch, the British show it is based on, was eight-episodes. The reason for the extra two episodes is because Broadchurch was originally created to be ten episodes long. However the British network ITV would only commission eight episodes, forcing the creators to cut two episodes. Fox allowed the creators free choice over how many episodes Gracepoint would be, so they chose to restore the missing two episodes.
• They even use the same names for the characters, so it's a bit more than loosely based on Broadchurch.
• Fox originally planned to cast an all-new all-American cast for Gracepoint, using none of the actors from the British original. However they allowed David Tennant to audition for the role of Carver (the role based on the role he played in Broadchurch) and he "blew away the competition" winning the role over all the American actors who also auditioned for Carver, even though Tennant had auditioned in an accent that was not his own.
• Gracepoint is a loose remake of the UK series Broadchurch, and both series come from the same writer and creator. Gracepoint however differs considerably from Broadchurch and featured a different ending.
