“Criminal Record” has been renewed for Season 2 at Apple TV+.

Peter Capaldi (“Doctor Who”) and Cush Jumbo (“The Good Wife”) will both return for a second season of the British thriller as Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty and Detective Sergeant June Lenker, respectively.

Set in contemporary London, “Criminal Record” follows two brilliant detectives as they clash while investigating a complex murder. The show was created by Paul Rutman (“Vera”).

“In Season 2, June Lenker is the senior officer on the scene when a political rally is attacked by far-right counter-protestors,” reads the synopsis. “The violent clash leaves a young man dead and June, consumed with guilt, is desperate to bring the unknown killer to justice. It seems as if her best hope is Daniel Hegarty, now a key figure in the shadowy world of police intelligence. He may have the answers she needs but to get his help she will have to accept a dangerous bargain.”
