The wait is (almost) over, as BBC thriller series The Capture is finally set to return to BBC One<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new six-part season once again comes from writer Ben Chanan, and will star Holliday Grainger, Ron Perlman and new addition Paapa Essiedu.<\/p>\n

While the first season, which aired in 2019, focussed on a soldier being accused of kidnap and murder backed by CCTV evidence, this new season will ramp up the action with a brand-new conspiracy which delves into the UK\u2019s political establishment.<\/p>\n

But just when will the new season arrive on our screens? Read on for everything you need to know about The Capture season 2.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis for The Capture season 2 says: \u201cCreated and written by Ben Chanan, the next instalment of The Capture will again question if we can really believe what we see. Britain is under siege: hacked news feeds, manipulated media, and interference in politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cEntrenched in the UK\u2019s own \u2018Correction\u2019 unit, DCI Rachel Carey finds herself in the middle of a new conspiracy \u2013 with a new target. But how can she solve this case when she can\u2019t even trust her closest colleagues?<\/p>\n

\u201cEscalating from the CCTV thriller of series one, the six-part run features \u2018invisible\u2019 assassins, the terrifying rise of deepfake technology, the ever-growing tension between government and Big Tech, and corruption at the heart of the British media.\u201d<\/p>\n
