BBC's The Capture returns for a third series, with Holliday Grainger reprising her role as Rachel Carey as she continues battling the deepfake technology known as Correction. The gripping thriller's first series debuted in 2019, with the second airing in 2022, making this new chapter arrive after a four-year hiatus.
Joining Holliday once more are Paapa Essiedu as Isaac Turner, Indira Varma as BBC News presenter Khadija Khan, Ben Miles as Danny Hart, Lia Williams as Gemma Garland, Ginny Holder as DI Nadia Latif, and Ron Perlman as CIA agent Frank Napier, alongside Andy Nyman, Nigel Lindsay, Tessa Wong and Daisy Waterstone.
For season 3, London features once more, though production primarily occurred across South East England. Director Derek Ritchie described how the expanded range of filming locations this time provided 'the series greater scale and visual ambition.' Filming locations across London included Paddington, King's Cross and The Strand, reports The Mirror.
Discussing the sets and locations, Holliday remarked: 'The sets are incredible, especially the Counter Terrorism Command ops room, which has the biggest screen I've ever seen. Episode five also takes us underground, using tunnels beneath Paddington and King's Cross to double as secret government passageways. They're eerie, historic, and visually striking, even if it was tough being underground for a week!'
Tessa Wong, reprising her role as Chloe Tan, shared her filming experiences: 'Running down The Strand with Ginny (Holder) was a highlight. Filming in such a public space, with everything happening around us, was thrilling and completely different from studio work.'
The Capture series 3 premieres on Sunday, March 8. Episode one will launch on BBC iPlayer at 6am and on BBC One at 9pm that evening, with new episodes then released weekly on BBC iPlayer and BBC One each Sunday.
