A new season of The Capture puts Rachel Carey making sacrifices. Here's a look at the new season.
On Wednesday, the BBC revealed a first look at The Capture season 3, created, written, and directed by Ben Chanan. The new photo shows Holiday Grainger, who leads the series as Rachel Carey.
The press release includes the season three synopsis, which reads: "How do you protect the truth in a world where lies are daily currency?" And with the proliferation of deepfakes, how can we trust what we see?
It's been a year since Rachel Carey broadcast a live deepfake of a government minister to the nation, exposing the UK intelligence service's clandestine video manipulation programme. Correction. Amidst an inquiry into the unlawful use of Correction, Carey has become Acting Commander of Counter Terrorism Command, determined to regain the public's trust in surveillance technology through the new Operation Veritas camera system.
And then it happens: a brutal and exceptionally well-coordinated act of terror aimed right at the heart of the British establishment that leaves behind just one witness. The more Carey investigates, the deeper she is drawn into an unfolding geopolitical crisis that infects the British political establishment, the security services, and the media. The conspiracy reaches deep into the State, but just who is pulling the strings?
Caught in an increasingly violent situation, and with a few allies left to trust, what sacrifices will Carey be willing to make?
Along with Grainger, Killian Scott joins season three in a pivotal role. With Indira Varma, Ben Miles, Lia Williams, Ginny Holder, Ron Perlman, Nigel Lindsay, Tessa Wong, and Daisy Waterstone, Joe Dempsie, Andrew Bucham, Hugh Quarshie, and Amanda Drew will be joining the cast.
Chanan says, "I am delighted to join up with Holliday Grainger, Lia Williams, Ben Miles, Ron Perlam, and all our brilliant cast on The Capture again, and to welcome the fantastic Killian Scott to the fold. Previous seasons have seen Holliday's Rachel Carey investigate others as their lives fall apart. Most of all, I am excited that Series 3 puts Carey at the heart of the conspiracy."
Holliday Grainger says, "I'm thrilled to be joining The Capture team once more for series three. Ben Chanan's scripts are as electrifying as ever, and I'm excited to be stepping back into 'Commander Rachel Carey's world. (Spoiler alert!)"
Killian Scott says, "I think Ben has created something really special with The Capture, a modren espionage thriller that feels both authentic and immesnsely captivating. I feel incredibly lucky to be joining the team for season 3."
Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, says: "The Capture's irresistible blend of timely, state-of-the-nation commentary with edge-of-your-seat thrills has made it a big hit with millions of viewers, and we're so pleased to announce its return to the BBC. Ben's scripts for series three will dazzle and terrify you in equal measures."
Series 3 is expected to premiere in the UK sometime in 2026. There's still no news on when it will arrive in the U.S., but fans can enjoy the first two seasons, which have been available on Peacock since 2020. I'm a huge fan of this series; I enjoyed the first season and loved the second even more, as it took the conspiracy thriller to exciting new heights. I’m really looking forward to seeing what season three has in store!
