BBC releases first look at new season of one of its best thriller shows

The BBC has also revealed when you can expect the next batch of episodes.

It was confirmed earlier this year that the series will be back for a season three, with the BBC revealing a list of new cast members for the third batch of episodes.

Created by BAFTA-winner Ben Chanan (The Missing), The Capture first launched in 2019. It revolves around an ambitious young detective named Rachel Carey (Holiday Grainger, Mickey 17) as she enters "the terrifying world of deepfake technology" and "the fabric of reality starts to fray".

Each season sees Carey investigating a different conspiracy.

The plot synopsis for The Capture season three from the BBC reads:

Alongside Grainger, other returning cast members include Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Ben Miles (Napoleon), Lia Williams (The Crown), Ginny Holder (Death in Paradise), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Nigel Lindsay (White Gold), Tessa Wong (Black Mirror) and Daisy Waterstone (Prime Target).

Praised for the way it blends real-world issues with twisty thrills, The Capture's first two seasons hold an average Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%.

They are both currently available to stream on Netflix.

As for season three, creator, writer and producer Chanan has said: “I am delighted to join up with Holliday Grainger, Lia Williams, Ben Miles, Ron Perlman, and all our brilliant cast on The Capture again, and to welcome the fantastic Killian Scott to the fold.

"Previous seasons have seen Holliday’s Rachel Carey investigate others as their lives fall apart. Most of all, I am excited that Series 3 puts Carey at the heart of the conspiracy.”

The Capture season three will consist of six 60-minute episodes. Filming took place in the South East of England.

The third batch of episodes will come to BBC One in spring 2026.
