The complicated dynamics of Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty (Peter Capaldi) and Detective Sergeant June Lenker (Cush Jumbo) will continue on Apple TV’s thriller Criminal Record. And there’s good news: Not only will it be back soon, but the streaming service has now released the official trailer for Season 2.

The first season followed the two leads’ tug of war over a murder conviction, with June in the early stages of her career and Hegarty well-connected and determined to protect his legacy. Now, in Season 2, they must work together. The trailer, which dropped on April 8, offers a look at the investigation. They’re looking for a weapons trafficker who has something terrible planned. “What if there’s a bomb?” June asks. “We’ll stop it,” he tells her. “What if we don’t?” she argues.

“This is Intelligence. What we do here is put out the fires before they start,” he tells her. And later, he notes, “Nobody remembers the saves. It’s the one you miss.”

How did Criminal Record Season 1 end?

In the Season 1 finale, Errol Mathis (Tom Moutchi) was freed after serving time for the murder (of his girlfriend) he didn’t commit, with the real killer identified (Paul Thornley’s Stefan Ash, whom Hegarty used as an informant). Errol’s girlfriend’s son had allegedly given a statement that he heard him tell his mom, “I’ll knock you flat.” However, it turned out, as Lenker discovered, that the 6-year-old boy had just been quoting a cartoon on TV when Hegarty interviewed him.

“You poisoned him,” Lenker told Hegarty. “You poisoned his whole life with that, didn’t you? And what happened to follow the facts? What happened to that?” He didn’t answer and instead just hung up on her.

What is Criminal Record Season 2 about?

The series, set in the heart of contemporary London, sees the two brilliant detectives clashing once more in a complex murder investigation.

In Season 2, Apple TV teases, “When a young man is stabbed to death at a political rally, rival police officers June Lenker and Daniel Hegarty are forced into an uneasy alliance. But what starts as a hunt for a murderer escalates into an undercover operation to foil a Far-Right bomb plot in the heart of London.”
