![]() Escalating from the CCTV thriller of series one, the six-part run features 'invisible' assassins, the terrifying rise of deepfake technology, the ever-growing tension between government and Big Tech, and corruption at the heart of the British media. Season two of The Capture will again question if we can really believe what we see. Season 2 aims for something more deadly: Invisible Assassins. Last season was all about deepfake video and manipulation of footage by the British government to jail suspects they didn't have enough evidence to convict. If the synopsis for the new season is anything to go by, the stakes are rising higher. The Capture, on the other hand, is already a proven hit. But while the first two have actor cred going for them, and the third promises romance, all three are untested. That's four titles out of 15, a decent selection of British fare for Anglophile viewers to consider. The list also included August's The Undeclared War, the Mark Rylance-starring story of a team of analysts at GCHQ, warding off cyberwarfare attacks, and the Dolly Alderton memoir adaptation Everything I Know About Love, which is also slated for August. The top of the announcement led with Trigger Point, the Jed Mercurio-produced thriller starring Vicky McClure and Adrian Lester that arrives in early July. But though all's been quiet on the deepfake technology series front since then, Peacock surprised announced the second season is scheduled to arrive before the end of the year.Īs part of an extensive slate of Peacock originals announced for autumn of 2022 and going through to the end of the year, The Capture Season 2 was one of several British TV series Peacock had listed for the second half of the year. The show was in limbo due to pandemic-related production shutdowns and lockdowns, with the first casting announcements for a new round of episodes not arriving until August 2021. But since then, there's been little to go on. ![]() The series premiered on the BBC in 2019, and the renewal came before the show arrived on Peacock in July 2020. Since the debut of Peacock back in the summer of 2020, Brit TV fans here in the United States have known that The Capture, which was the best of Peacock's initial offerings, was already renewed for a Season 2.
