Apple TV+ renews London-based thriller Criminal Record for a second season
Criminal Record is a much-liked detective series from BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman (Vera, Indian Summers). It “features the return of the two brilliant detectives clashing once more in a complex murder investigation,” Apple TV+ said. The show stars Academy Award winner Capaldi (The Thick of It) as seasoned Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty, who has a legacy to protect, and Critics Choice Award nominee Jumbo (The Good Fight) as mercurial Detective Sergeant June Lenker, who has a lot to prove. Hegarty displays gravitas it seems foolish to challenge, but Lenker has enough brashness to do just that.
Here’s the streamer’s description of Criminal Record‘s second season:
In season two, June is the senior officer on the scene when a political rally is attacked by far-right counter-protesters. The violent clash leaves a young man dead and June, consumed with guilt, is desperate to bring the unknown killer to justice. It seems as if her best hope is Daniel, now a key figure in the shadowy world of police intelligence. He may have the answers she needs, but to get his help, she will have to accept a dangerous bargain.
Tod Productions and STV Studios produce the show, filmed in London. BAFTA Scotland Award winner Elaine Collins (Shetland, Vera) and Chris Sussman (Trying on Apple TV+, Good Omens) executive produce the second season along with Rutman, Capaldi and Jumbo.
