Yesterday, February 1st, BBC One has released a 20 seconds teaser trailer following The Night Manager for The Capture Season 3.

A release date for The Capture is finally here. Spring 2026 will present Holliday as Rachel Carey once again, for a 3rd season. The first picture has been released and is available in our gallery:

The BBC has revealed a first look at The Capture series three, created, written, directed and executive produced by BAFTA-winning Ben Chanan. The series is produced by Heyday Television, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group, for BBC iPlayer and BBC One.

How do you protect the truth, in a world where lies are daily currency? And with the proliferation of deepfakes, how can we trust what we see?

It’s been 12 months since Rachel Carey broadcast a live deepfake of a government minister to the nation, exposing the UK intelligence service’s clandestine video manipulation programme known as Correction.

Amidst an inquiry into the unlawful use of Correction, Carey has become Acting Commander of Counter Terrorism Command, determined to regain the public’s trust in surveillance technology through the new Operation Veritas camera system.

And then it happens: a brutal and exceptionally well-coordinated act of terror aimed right at the heart of the British establishment that leaves behind just one witness.

The more Carey investigates, the deeper she is drawn into an unfolding geopolitical crisis that infects the British political establishment, the security services, and the media. The conspiracy reaches deep into the State, but just who is pulling the strings?

Caught in an increasingly violent situation, and with few allies left to trust, what sacrifices will Carey be willing to make?

The Capture series three (6×60’) is produced by Heyday Television, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group. It is created and written by Ben Chanan, directed by Anthony Philipson, Johnny Allan and Ben Chanan, and produced by Derek Ritchie, who also serves as Executive Producer. For Heyday Television, Executive Producers are David Heyman, Rosie Alison and Sue Gibbs, Tom Coan for Universal International Studios, Rebecca Ferguson for the BBC and Ben Chanan. The series will be distributed by NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution.

As we previously announced, The Capture S3 was officially announced by Holliday on a podcast, yet, the news was now advanced by BBC itself, confirming the new season is coming. Holliday will lead as Rachel once again, and will be joined by fellow Strike co-star Killian Scott. Season 3 is already filming in South East of Englan and will be back 12 months after the deepfake of S2.

The BBC has announced the return of The Capture for a third series. Created, written and executive produced by BAFTA-winning Ben Chanan, The Capture is produced by Heyday Television, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group, for BBC iPlayer and BBC One.

We finally have an official look of Rebecca from The Stolen Girl (previously Playdate based of the novel of Alex Dahl).

First-look images have been revealed for new Disney Plus thriller The Stolen Girl, which stars Denise Gough (Andor), Holliday Grainger (Strike) and Ambika Mod (One Day).

The series, which is based on Alex Dahl’s novel Playdate and was originally going by that title, also stars Jim Sturgess (Hard Sun), Bronagh Waugh (Ridley), and Michael Workeye (My Lady Jane), and has been adapted by Catherine Moulton (Baptiste) and directed by Eva Husson (Mothering Sunday).

The series follows the aftermath of Elisa making a seemingly ordinary decision.

In the thriller, Elisa agrees to let her 9-year-old daughter Luciago on an overnight playdate with her new best friend Josie, after meeting Josie’s mother, Rebecca, played by Grainger.

Elisa is put at ease by Rebecca’s charming nature and her impressive house, but when she says goodnight to her daughter, she has no idea that she is about to be thrust into every parent’s worst nightmare.

The synopsis for the series says: “The next day, when Elisa goes to pick up Lucia, she discovers that the beautiful house was a holiday rental. Lucia is missing. Rebecca and Josie have vanished. What started out as her daughter’s first sleepover has turned into an abduction.

“As an urgent manhunt unfolds across Europe, Elisa and her husband Fred find themselves the object of police and public scrutiny. Elisa’s perfect family begins to unravel under the pressure, and long-buried secrets come to light. Rebecca took Lucia for a reason.” And as viewers learn more about the tangled lives of these women we will wonder if Rebecca was justified in kidnapping the little girl – and whether she might be better off staying hidden.”

A release date has yet to be confirmed, but we do know the series will stream in 2025. The Stolen Girl will stream on Disney Plus in 2025.

Alex Dahl’s bestselling thriller novel Playdate is being adapted into a twisty five-part series for Disney+. It centres on every parents’ worst nightmare: mum Elisa lets her daughter Lucia go on a sleepover at a new friend’s house, but when she goes to collect her the next day, she discovers the house was a holiday rental and discovers Lucia, her friend Josie and Josie’s mother have vanished. In the urgent manhunt that follows, Elisa and her husband Fred find themselves under public scrutiny, and secrets about their past come to light, which explain the reason Lucia was taken. The cast includes  Denise Gough (Andor), Holliday Grainger  (The Capture), Ambika Mod (This Is Going to Hurt), Jim Sturgess (Cloud Atlas) and The Suspect’s Bronagh Waugh.

As per usually, the year ends well with Strike: The Ink Black Heart premieres in December! Tune in BBC One on December 16th for the first episode, and follow the other episodes on the 17th, 23rd and 24th for the rest of the season.

It’s been almost two years since Strike last aired on BBC One and fans will be pleased to know that season 6 is on the way in just a couple of weeks.

Starring Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger as Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott, the new season begins on Monday 16th December at 9pm on BBC One, and will be followed by a second episode the following night (17th).

Earlier this month, the BBC unveiled first-look images at the detective duo back in action in what appears to be quite the Christmas setting, hinting at some festive themes throughout.

The synopsis for the new season reads: “When frantic, dishevelled Edie Ledwell appears in the office begging to speak to her, private detective Robin Ellacott doesn’t know quite what to make of the situation.

“The co-creator of a popular cartoon, The Ink Black Heart, Edie is being persecuted by a mysterious online figure who goes by the pseudonym of Anomie. Edie is desperate to uncover Anomie’s true identity.

“Robin decides that the agency can’t help with this – and thinks nothing more of it until a few days later, when she reads the shocking news that Edie has been tasered and then murdered in Highgate Cemetery, the location of The Ink Black Heart.

“Robin and her business partner Cormoran Strike become drawn into the quest to uncover Anomie’s true identity. But with a complex web of online aliases, business interests and family conflicts to navigate, Strike and Robin find themselves embroiled in a case that stretches them to their limit.”

Ruth Sheen, Jack Greenlees, Natasha O’Keeffe and Caitlin Innes Edwards will all be returning to their roles, and will be joined by newcomers David Westhead, Christian McKay, Emma Fielding, Tupele Dorgu and James Nelson-Joyce.
