BBC surveillance drama The Capture sprang back onto our screens on Sunday 28th August, reintroducing viewers to DI Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) who, as we discovered at the end of season 1, has been working for Correction, the government operation that deepfakes CCTV.
The Capture season 2 plunges Carey into the middle of a new conspiracy – with a new victim at the centre of a national CCTV siege.
This time, it’s rising politician Issac Turner (Paapa Essiedu), whose life is turned upside down after hackers replace his live Newsnight interview with a deepfake clone.
While the opening two episodes of the drama covered a fair big of ground, delivering plenty of twists, Grainger has promised there’s plenty more to come.
“For her [Carey] it starts with a murder and gradually, it just gets deeper and deeper,” she recently told RadioTimes.com and other press. “The more she unveils, the higher the stakes become for her and her own life. Thank God she went to those self-defence classes [laughs].”
So, when is episode 3 airing? Here’s everything you need to know about the release schedule for The Capture season 2.
