Peter Capaldi & Cush Jumbo Return for Criminal Record Season 2

About this episode

Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo discuss their roles in the second season of Criminal Record, exploring character dynamics and thematic elements.

Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo catch up with Kyle Meredith to talk about stepping back into the world of Criminal Record for its second season, digging into the evolving dynamic between their characters while the story tackles timely themes like extremism, morality, and power. Capaldi discusses the challenge of playing things closer to the chest this time around, dialing back his usual expressive instincts to keep his character more guarded, while Jumbo leans into June’s growing confidence and the cost of sticking to her moral compass as the stakes rise. They also get into how much of the story they actually want to know ahead of time, the spontaneity that comes from minimal rehearsal, and how the show manages to pull off big, cinematic moments on a tight budget, including that explosive opening riot scene.
