DCI Rachel Carey will remain committed to exposing the truth! The Cinemaholic can reveal that Peacock and BBC have renewed the mystery thriller series ‘The Capture’ for its third season. The principal photography for the upcoming project will start in London, England, in March. Ben Chanan, the creator of the show, will continue to serve as the writer, with Anthony Philipson on board as the director.
The second season finale ends with a handful of tense situations and incidents, some twisted, some complicated, others shocking. After having teamed up with ‘Newsnight’ journalist Khadija Khan and politician Isaac Turner to expose the real-time image manipulation method known as “Correction,” Rachel is interrogated by CIA officer Frank Napier. It is soon revealed that Isaac shook hands with Truro Analytics, led by Gregory Knox, to secure his future as the PM with the CIA bent on using Truro’s behavior-predicting technology.
As the finale progresses, Rachel is forced by Napier and DSU Gemma Garland to sign a statement blaming Russia for the hacks that Knox had carried out on both the BBC and the UK security services, targeting Isaac’s PM plan. Furthermore, Garland didn’t object as she wanted to use the plan to keep Correction a secret and strengthen UK security. The sophomore installment concludes with a fake (Correction-version) Isaac exposing the manipulation method while speaking to Khadija during an interview. Moreover, a glitch reveals to the world that Correction is real, with the presenter declaring that the manipulative piece of tech has made its way into many UK intelligence agencies and British officials, all of whom will be brought to light.
Considering how the second season ends, Garland is on Rachel’s radar, and Napier will have to pay his dues for protecting Knox, who is responsible for the death of the protagonist’s friend, DS Patrick Flynn. The UK-US relations will get more traction now that Correction has been exposed. There is also the question of Rachel’s professional future, as she has put herself in jeopardy by potentially exposing Garland. All these angles will likely be explored in the third installment.
The cast members expected to return to the third season include Holliday Grainger as DCI Rachel Carey, Ron Perlman as Frank Napier, Lia Williams as DSU Gemma Garland, Nigel Lindsay as Tom Kendricks, Ben Miles as Commander Danny Hart, and Daisy Waterstone as Abigail, Rachel’s half-sister. The other returnees may include Tessa Wong as DC Chloe Tan.
The first two seasons of ‘The Capture’ were also filmed in London. Other high-profile shows shot in the city include ‘The Gentlemen,’ ‘3 Body Problem,‘ and ‘Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.’
