Peter Capaldi Set To Star in the Murder Case Thriller Series CRIMINAL RECORD
Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Fight) are set to star in a new crime thriller series titled Criminal Record for Apple TV+. Capaldi portrays Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty, and Jumbo plays Detective Sgt. June Lenker in a story involving a “tug of war over a historic murder conviction.”
The 8-episode series was created Paul Rutman (Vera, Indian Summers), and it’s described as “a powerful, character-driven thriller 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 and the other a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy.”
The series is said to touch on “issues of race, institutional failure and the quest to find common ground in a polarized Britain.”
Jim Loach (Save Me Too, Oranges and Sunshine) directs the series.
