Doctor Who alum Peter Capaldi and The Good Fight's Cush Jumbo star in Criminal Record as detectives in a battle to secure a historic murder conviction. The eight-episode series will kick off with the first two episodes on Friday, January 12, 2024, followed by a new episode every Friday through February 23.
From BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman (Vera, Indian Summers), Criminal Record is described as a powerful, character-driven thriller set in the heart of contemporary London. An anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives (Capaldi & Jumbo) 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 touches on issues of race, institutional failure and the quest to find common ground in a polarized Britain. Capaldi portrays Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty, and Jumbo plays Detective Sgt. June Lenker.
