Is anyone else watching this, Im loving it and i cannot wait to see how it ends next week, Paapa Essiedu is brilliant as the poor politician who is being stiched up and it has a great cast
Its enthralling and a little bit scary if this happens in the real world
It's been three long years, but The Capture is finally back.

When we last caught up with DCI Rachel Carey, played by Holliday Grainger, it seemed as though she was joining forces with the secret government operation she had originally set out to expose – and in season 2, we'll see the detective become involved in a brand new conspiracy.
Now working in the Counter Terrorism Command's mapping department, Carey is made aware of a case in which a man is murdered by invisible assailants, with the investigation bringing her within the orbit of hotshot politician Isaac Turner (Essiedu).
"Something is very wrong, but can she work out what before Britain's security is irrevocably compromised?" the BBC teases.
So, just when will the new season arrive on our screens? Read on for everything you need to know about The Capture season 2.
Meanwhile, the BBC has also confirmed that season 1 of the show will also return to BBC iPlayer in August, meaning that if you need to refresh your memory of what's happened so far after so long away from the story, you'll be able to do so.

The official synopsis for The Capture season 2 says: "Created and written by Ben Chanan, the next instalment of The Capture will again question if we can really believe what we see. Britain is under siege: hacked news feeds, manipulated media, and interference in politics.
"Entrenched in the UK’s own 'Correction' unit, DCI Rachel Carey finds herself in the middle of a new conspiracy – with a new target. But how can she solve this case when she can’t even trust her closest colleagues?
"Escalating from the CCTV thriller of series one, the six-part run features 'invisible' assassins, the terrifying rise of deepfake technology, the ever-growing tension between government and Big Tech, and corruption at the heart of the British media."

Meanwhile, a big new addition for season 2 is Paapa Essiedu (The Lazarus Project) who plays Isaac Turner MP, a young rising star politician. He's joined by other new additions including Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Andy Nyman (Hanna), Charlie Murphy (Peaky Blinders) and Rob Yang (Succession).

Here's a full list of the cast announced so far to be appearing in season 2:
The footage teases the "invisible assassins" at work and we see that Paapa Essiedu's character Isaac Turner is the victim of "deepfake interview" on Newsnight as his career is sabotaged, but by whom?
It seems that DCI Carey has her work cut out for herm, but will she bring down the system of "correction" underway?
