The Capture

Holliday Grainger’s DCI Rachel Carey and Paapa Essiedu’s Isaac Turner MP are set to return, while Indira Varma (This Way Up) joins the cast as Newsnight presenter Khadija Khan.

Created and written by Ben Chanan, the new series will continue questioning if in our age of hacking and deepfakery, we can really believe what we see.

DCI Rachel Carey (Grainger) finds herself in the middle of a new conspiracy with a new target. But following the events of series one, she can no longer trust her colleagues.

Also joining the cast will be Indira Varma (This Way Up) and Andy Nyman (Hanna), while Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Ben Miles (The Crown), Lia Williams (Riviera), Nigel Lindsay (The Salisbury Poisonings), Cavan Clerkin (Pulling) and Ginny Holder (Avenue 5) will reprise their roles from series one.

Created and written by Ben Chanan, the upcoming series will see Essiedu play Isaac Turner, a young rising star MP with lofty ambitions for the top job.

With previous credits as a “computer visual artist” and “surveillance artist” in the likes of Spooks and espionage film Criminal, CCTV director Mark Doman has helped to carve out this recent role in the television landscape.

A CCTV director is responsible for replicating the style of surveillance footage and will shoot high-quality footage from long distances using a combination of GoPros, small cameras, zoom lenses and underwater cameras, which is then compressed to lower resolutions to produce a surveillance aesthetic.
