Olivia Colman has confirmed that she will return to Broadchurch.

Series creator Chris Chibnall previously appeared to confirm Colman's involvement in series two of the hit crime series.

Speaking at the launch of her new BBC One drama The 7:39, the BAFTA winner stated: "Yes, I will be doing it," according to Radio Times.

David Tennant will reprise his role as lead male investigator in a US version of Broadchurch being developed by Fox.

However, Colman insisted that she will not be joining her co-star in the transatlantic remake.

Chris Chibnall recently claimed that the American series - retitled Gracepoint - could be "as good [as] if not better" than the UK original.
