In its previous seasons, The Capture delved into the murky realms of deepfakes, tech manipulation, and global espionage, mirroring many hot-button issues that resonate with today's real-world headlines. In 2019, The Capture launched its first ever series with Holliday Grainger leading the investigation into Homicide and Serious Crime as DI Rachel Carey. A standout case introduced viewers to a soldier named Shaun, who was accused of war crimes but later cleared of charges in Afghanistan.
Killian Scott will now be joining the cast in a key role
The case centred on an alleged war criminal, Shaun, portrayed by Callum Turner, who is acquitted of offences in Afghanistan. Despite his efforts to start a new life in the UK, Shaun becomes embroiled in a crime after his defence barrister mysteriously vanishes. Rachel discovers various pieces of tech-based evidence and CCTV footage have been tampered with, leaving Shaun questioning what's real and what's not. The new series places terror-related crimes at the forefront, with Rachel finding herself in an "increasingly violent situation with few allies to trust". It promises to be a unique series as she gets drawn into a burgeoning geopolitical crisis that permeates the British political establishment. On reprising her role, Holliday Grainger commented: "I'm thrilled to be joining The Capture team once more for series three. Ben Chanan's scripts are as electrifying as ever and I'm excited to be stepping back into 'Commander' Rachel Carey's world. (Spoiler alert! )" Newcomer to the cast, Killian Scott remarked: "I think Ben has created something really special with The Capture, a modern espionage thriller that feels both authentic and immensely captivating. I feel incredibly lucky to be joining the team for season 3." The Capture is set to return to BBC and iPlayer very soon.
