Apple TV+ is bringing back Criminal Record for a second season. The show, created by Paul Rutman, will continue with Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty (Peter Capaldi) and Detective Sergeant June Lenker (Cush Jumbo) tackling the toughest crimes in modern London. Even though these detectives are experts in their field, finding the violent criminals in Criminal Record can be very challenging.
The plot for the second season is as follows: “June Lenker is the senior officer on the scene when a political rally is attacked by far-right counter-protesters. The violent clash results in a young man’s death, and June, overwhelmed with guilt, is determined to bring the unknown killer to justice.
Her best chance seems to be Daniel Hegarty, who is now a significant figure in police intelligence. However, to get his help, she must accept a risky deal.”
In the first season of Criminal Record, Hegarty was introduced as an experienced veteran. The character, played by Peter Capaldi, was paired with June Lenker for a dangerous case connected to a past narrative causing chaos in London.
The first season also featured Charlie Creed-Miles, Cathy Tyson, and Stephen Campbell Moore. For the new season, only the two main stars have been confirmed.

Cush Jumbo shines as Detective Sergeant June Lenker in Criminal Record. Before this role, Jumbo was known for playing Lucca Quinn in The Good Wife and its sequel, The Good Fight.
