‘Criminal Record’ Starring Peter Capaldi & Cush Jumbo Gets Apple TV+ Premiere Date; First Photos

We’re getting the first look at Criminal Record, Apple TV+’s hourlong London-set crime thriller series starring Doctor Who alum Peter Capaldi and The Good Fight‘s Cush Jumbo as detectives in a tug of war over a historic murder conviction. The eight-episode series will launch with the first two episodes on Friday, January 12, 2024, followed by one new episode each Friday through February 23. See the first photos above and below.

From BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman (Vera, Indian Summers), Criminal Record is described as a powerful, character-driven thriller set in the heart of contemporary London. An anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives (Capaldi & Jumbo) into a confrontation over an old murder case: one a young woman in the early stages of her career and 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. Capaldi portrays Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty, and Jumbo plays Detective Sgt. June Lenker.
