Apple TV+ lands series order for powerful new London crime thriller “Criminal Record”

Series stars Academy Award winner Peter Capaldi and Critics Choice Award nominee Cush Jumbo

Apple TV+ today announced an eight-episode series order for “Criminal Record,” a new one-hour thriller starring Academy Award winner Peter Capaldi and Critics Choice Award nominee Cush Jumbo as detectives in a tug of war over a historic murder conviction. From BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman (“Vera,” “Indian Summers“), the series is currently in production in London and is produced for Apple TV+ by Tod Productions and STV Studios.

“Criminal Record” is 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; 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. Peter Capaldi (“Doctor Who,” “The Thick of It“) stars as Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty, and Cush Jumbo (“The Good Wife,” “The Good Fight,” “The Beast Must Die“) stars as Detective Sergeant June Lenker.

BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman (Creator of “Vera” from the Anne Cleeves novels and “Indian Summers“), BAFTA Scotland Award winner Elaine Collins (“Shetland,” “Vera“), BAFTA and Academy 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,” “Trying“) serve as executive producers.
