Kevin Zegers is set to join the cast of GRACEPOINT, the US remake of the ITV’s BROADCHURCH.
Zegers, best known for his roles in GOSSIP GIRL and DAWN OF THE DEAD, will join David Tennant, Jacki Weaver and BREAKING BAD’s Anna Gunn in the series playing the role of local reporter Owen Burke. He is described as being a “handsome, clever and extremely laid back” reporter who gets himself and his aunt Ellie (Gunn) into trouble when a local murder brings a big journalist to town.
The announcement of GRACEPOINT comes along just months after the first series of BROADCHURCH finished airing. So far, Tennant is the only actor confirmed to star in both the UK and US versions.
GRACEPOINT is set to start filming in Vancover Island in January, and being geared up for a 2014-2015 season release in the US.
