Apple TV has been ramping up its slate of crime thrillers recently, and it just set the release date for season 2 of the acclaimed show Criminal Record. Here are the details.

Criminal Record season 2 premieres this spring

If you’re a fan of crime thrillers, Apple TV is fast becoming a go-to destination for the genre.

Currently the Idris Elba-starring Hijack is airing, but shortly after it ends, Apple has another thriller on the way.

Criminal Record season 2 premieres Wednesday, April 22 with its first episode, followed by weekly releases through June 10.

The series stars Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo as London-based detectives in the police force. Criminal Record’s first season aired in 2024 and earned an impressive 90% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Here’s Apple’s official summary for season 2:

“Criminal Record” is a powerful, character-driven drama set in the heart of contemporary London, exploring the impossibility of policing when the truth is up for grabs. In season two, when a young man is stabbed to death at a political rally, rival police officers June Lenker (Jumbo) and Daniel Hegarty (Capaldi) are forced into an uneasy alliance. But what starts as a hunt for a murderer escalates into an undercover operation to foil a far-right bomb plot in the heart of London.

You can watch the full first season of Criminal Record here on Apple TV.
