Who’s in The Capture cast?
Obviously, Holliday Grainger is back as Rachel Carey, who has now stepped up as Acting Commander of Counter Terrorism Command, a year after shocking the nation with a live deepfake that exposed the secretive Correction programme.

On how her character has changed over the years, Grainger said, “When we first meet Carey in series one, she’s on the fast-track scheme in the Met – ambitious, determined, and not necessarily making friends. She discovers Correction, an illegal system of faking video evidence, and because of her strong moral compass, she becomes a whistleblower rather than looking the other way. Across series one and two, she fights to expose Correction, and by series three, she’s risen rapidly through the ranks. She believes her integrity is intact, but series three explores what happens when those morals begin to fracture.”
But who else will be joining her in the latest instalment of the gripping BBC thriller?
