‘Criminal Record’: Apple TV+ Sets January Premiere & Releases “First Look” Photos For Drama Starring Peter Capaldi & Cush Jumbo
Apple TV+ has released some “first look” photos and announced a January 2024 premiere date for ‘Criminal Record‘, an upcoming crime thriller starring Academy Award and BAFTA award winner Peter Capaldi (‘Doctor Who’, ‘The Thick of It’), and Laurence Olivier Award and Critics Choice Award nominee Cush Jumbo (‘The Good Wife’, ‘The Good Fight’, ‘The Beast Must Die’) from BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman (‘Vera’, ‘Indian Summers’).
‘Criminal Record’ is a powerful, character-driven drama set in the heart of contemporary London. An anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives into a confrontation over an old murder case – one a young woman in the early stages of her career, the other a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy. The series touches on issues of race, institutional failure and the quest to find common ground in a polarised Britain.
The eight-part series stars Capaldi as Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty and Jumbo as Detective Sergeant June Lenker. They are joined by Charlie Creed-Miles (‘King Arthur,’ ‘Wild Bill’), Dionne Brown (‘Queenie’), Shaun Dooley (‘Official Secret,’ ‘The Woman in Black,’ ‘The Awakening’), Stephen Campbell Moore (‘The Bank Job,’ ‘Masters of the Air’), Zoë Wanamaker (‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,’ ‘My Week with Marilyn’), Rasaq Kukoyi (‘Andor,’ ‘His House’), Maisie Ayres, Aysha Kala (‘The Undeclared War’), BAFTA TV Award winner Cathy Tyson (‘Help’) and Tom Moutchi (‘Famalam,’ ‘The Hustle’).
Created by BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman (‘Vera’, ‘Indian Summers’), the drama is produced for Apple TV+ by Tod Productions and STV Studios, and executive produced by BAFTA Scotland Award winner Elaine Collins (‘Shetland,’ ‘Vera’), Rutman, Capaldi and Jumbo. The series is directed by BAFTA Award winner Jim Loach (‘Save Me Too,’ ‘Oranges and Sunshine’) and Shaun James Grant (‘The Devil’s Hour’).
‘Criminal Record‘ premieres with the first two episodes on Friday 12th January 2024, followed by new episodes every Friday on Apple TV+ globally.
