The BBC has released an extended first-look trailer and new artwork for series three of The Capture, which will arrive on BBC iPlayer and BBC One from Sunday 8 March.
The trailer stars Holliday Grainger as Rachel Carey alongside – as either allies or suspects – Paapa Essiedu as Isaac Turner, Indira Varma as BBC News presenter Khadija Khan, Ben Miles as Danny Hart, Lia Williams as Gemma Garland, Ginny Holder as DI Nadia Latif, and Ron Perlman as CIA agent Frank Napier.
Killian Scott, Joe Dempsie, Andrew Buchan, Hugh Quarshie, Amanda Drew, Linus Roache and Jonathan Aris join The Capture for series three, which also stars returning cast members Andy Nyman, Nigel Lindsay, Tessa Wong and Daisy Waterstone.
It’s been 12 months since Rachel Carey broadcast a live deepfake of a government minister to the nation, exposing the UK intelligence service’s clandestine video manipulation programme known as Correction.
Amidst an inquiry into the unlawful use of Correction, Carey has become Acting Commander of Counter Terrorism Command, determined to regain the public’s trust in surveillance technology through the new Operation Veritas camera system.
And then it happens: a brutal and exceptionally well-coordinated act of terror aimed right at the heart of the British establishment that leaves behind just one witness.
The more Carey investigates, the deeper she is drawn into an unfolding geopolitical crisis that infects the British political establishment, the security services, and the media. The conspiracy reaches deep into the State, but just who is pulling the strings?
Caught in an increasingly violent situation, and with few allies left to trust, what sacrifices will Carey be willing to make?
The Capture is created, written and executive produced by BAFTA award-winning Ben Chanan. It is produced by Heyday Television, part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group, for BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
Series three is directed by Anthony Philipson, Johnny Allan and Ben Chanan, and produced by Derek Ritchie, who also serves as executive producer. For Heyday Television, executive producers are David Heyman, Rosie Alison and Sue Gibbs, with Tom Coan for Universal International Studios, Rebecca Ferguson for the BBC, and Ben Chanan. The series will be distributed by NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution.
