Criminal Record Season 2 Premieres on Apple TV With a Real-Time Case in London

The new season shifts from past wrongdoing to a present-tense investigation that tests the show’s core partnership.

Overview

  • The Season 2 premiere on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, starts an eight-episode weekly run on Apple TV that ends June 10.
  • Apple’s synopsis sets the case in motion after a young man is stabbed at a political rally in London and says the hunt expands into an undercover effort to stop a far-right bomb plot.
  • Interviews with Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo frame this chapter as a live, day-by-day investigation that forces their detectives into an uneasy alliance, with June holding more leverage.
  • The cast sees the leads return alongside new faces, including Dustin Demri-Burns as Cosmo Thompson, a charismatic far-right influencer central to the investigation.
  • Apple has not confirmed a release hour, and outlets point to the service’s usual midnight ET rollout, while UK listings indicate Wednesday morning drops and episode 2 arriving April 29.
