The BBC has released an extended first-look trailer and new artwork for series three of The Capture, which will premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC One from Sunday 8 March. The action-packed trailer stars Holliday Grainger as Rachel Carey, alongside Paapa Essiedu, Indira Varma, Ben Miles, Lia Williams, Ginny Holder, and Ron Perlman.
New cast members for the third series include Killian Scott, Joe Dempsie, Andrew Buchan, Hugh Quarshie, Amanda Drew, Linus Roache, and Jonathan Aris. Returning cast members include Andy Nyman, Nigel Lindsay, Tessa Wong, and Daisy Waterstone.
The series picks up 12 months after Rachel Carey broadcast a live deepfake of a government minister, exposing the UK intelligence service's clandestine video manipulation programme known as Correction. Now Acting Commander of Counter Terrorism Command, Carey is determined to regain public trust in surveillance technology through the new Operation Veritas camera system.
A brutal and well-coordinated act of terror targets the British establishment, leaving just one witness. As Carey investigates, she is drawn into a geopolitical crisis that infects the political establishment, security services, and media, with a conspiracy reaching deep into the state.
Episode one of The Capture series three will launch on BBC iPlayer at 6am on Sunday 8 March and on BBC One at 9pm that evening, with new episodes released weekly on both platforms each Sunday.
The series is created, written, and executive produced by BAFTA award-winning Ben Chanan, and produced by Heyday Television for BBC iPlayer and BBC One. The first two series are available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.
