London’s ugliest truths are still rattling around inside “Criminal Record.” The first trailer for season two of the Apple TV crime thriller has arrived, bringing Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo back into a story that starts with a fatal stabbing at a political rally and widens into something much more perilous. The new season premieres April 22 and runs for eight episodes, with new installments dropping weekly through June 10.

Created by Paul Rutman, the series once again centers on the uneasy push-and-pull between Detective Sergeant June Lenker and Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty, two officers who were never exactly built for trust in the first place. This time, that rivalry is forced into an alliance as the murder investigation turns into an undercover operation aimed at stopping a far-right bomb plot in the heart of London.
Season two adds Dustin Demri-Burns, Luca Pasqualino, Luther Ford, Lyndsey Marshal, and Peter Sullivan, while Shaun Dooley, Stephen Campbell Moore, and Charlie Creed-Miles return alongside Capaldi and Jumbo. Rutman executive produces with Elaine Collins, Capaldi, and Jumbo, and the season is directed by Ben A. Williams and Joelle Mae David.
The show was already one of Apple’s tighter, more character-driven crime dramas, and the new setup suggests a broader canvas without losing the moral murk that made the first season click. Season two of “Criminal Record” premieres on Apple TV on April 22. Watch the trailer below.
