'The Capture' Season 2's First-Look Images Reveal A New Case

The Capture first debuted in America on Peacock during the heart of the pandemic, in the summer of 2020. The series, which had already aired in the U.K. in the fall of 2019, waited until the Peacock pickup to greenlight a second series, so it's already been nearly three years since the show's original debut. But Season 2 is finally on our radars in 2022, with the BBC releasing it later in August 2022, both on linear and iPlayer, and Peacock following up with all episodes of the new season arriving in November.

With Peacock getting behind more British offerings, the streaming service has dropped nearly a dozen new photos from the forthcoming season, including looks at the returning cast and the new faces introduced this season. Season 1 starred Holliday Grainger as DI Rachel Carey, who accidentally stumbles into a conspiracy when she's on loan to Homicide and Serious Crime Command from SO15. As part of the routine investigation, she notices the footage of Lance Corporal Shaun Emery (Callum Turner) assaulting his lawyer, Hannah Roberts (Laura Haddock), isn't quite right. Her search for answers brings her face to face with Counter Terrorism Command and a secret task force that create deepfake footage to convict real criminals.

Despite Carey's horror at the civil rights being trampled by CTC, not to mention the sheer amount of laws it's breaking to "convict those we know are guilty even though we can't prove it," the first season ended with her joining the task force. Season 2 will open with her now working for Commander Danny Hart and DSU Gemma Garland and their compatriots on the American side of the line led by CIA Chief Frank Napier. But a new case means several actors from Season 1, including Turner, and those who played his family and friends, will not be back.
