The Capture reveals first look at season 2 with Paapa Essiedu
The conspiracy drama returns to our screens this year, with a new crime drama at its centre.
The Capture is returning to BBC One, bringing another conspiracy to our screens.
First-look pictures teasing the new season have just been released and it looks like it will be as tense as the first.
Season 1 focused on war veteran Shaun Emery (Callum Turner), who successfully appealed a murder conviction thanks to the video footage being flawed, only to be accused of a second murder caught on CCTV.
It was up to Holliday Grainger's relentless DI Rachel Carey to uncover the truth, which turns out to be a lot more complicated than it first appears. Though Turner revealed Shaun won't return for season 2, Grainger will be back, this time with a brand new conspiracy to crack.
I May Destroy You's Paapa Essiedu finds himself at the centre of another dangerous plot that will question if we can really believe what we see. Essiedu plays Isaac Turner, an up-and-coming politician who has his eyes set on the top. His ambitious streak will surely strike a chord with Grainger's driven Carey.
