The BBC has unveiled a new British thriller series featuring stars from popular dramas like Marcella and Strike.

Airing later this year, The Capture is a six-parter that explores themes of 'fake news' and boasts a stellar cast with some familiar faces.

Actress Holliday Grainger of Strike - the crime series based on JK Rowling's detective novels - and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald's Callum Turner star alongside Sophia Brown of Marcella fame.

The Crown actor Ben Miles, Guardians of The Galaxy's Laura Haddock and Ginny Holder, who has appeared in Death in Paradise, are also on the glittering cast list.

The synopsis reads: "When soldier Shaun Emery's (Callum Turner) conviction for a murder in Afghanistan is overturned due to flawed video evidence, he returns to life as a free man with his young daughter.

"But when damning CCTV footage from a night out in London comes to light, Shaun's life takes a shocking turn and he must soon fight for his freedom once again. With DI Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) drafted in to investigate Shaun's case, she quickly learns that the truth can sometimes be a matter of perspective. Should she trust Shaun Emery?"

The Capture is the latest in a long line of new crime programmes hitting our screens in 2019.

Last week, detective show Wild Bill kicked off on ITV starring Rob Lowe.

Netflix's When They See Us has received rave reviews - based on the true story of five American teenagers who were convicted of a rape they didn't commit. Another true crime drama - Hatton Garden - based on the 2015 jewellery heist aired last month.

Netflix also announced a new show Criminal that stars David Tennant and Katherine Kelly and focuses on police interrogations in four different countries.

Anyone else already plotting how to cancel all foreseeable social plans?
