Criminal Record

Criminal Record is a powerful, character-driven thriller set in the heart of contemporary London, which sees Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo take on lead roles as detectives in a tug of war over a historic murder conviction. An anonymous phone call draws the two brilliant detectives - one a young woman in the early stages of her career, the other a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy - into a confrontation over the old murder case.

The eight-part series, a co-production between Tod Productions and STV Studios, is written by Paul Rutman and touches on issues of race, institutional failure, and the quest to find common ground in a polarised Britain. Acclaimed by viewers and critics alike, Criminal Record has been recommissioned for a second series on Apple TV+.
