Criminal Season 2 Trailer
Criminallaunched on Netflix in 2019 with a unique premise and a boatload of buzzy guest-stars. Conceived as an anthology crime procedural that takes place entirely in the interrogation room, the series premiered with three international counterparts:Criminal: France,Criminal: Spain, andCriminal: Germany. It was an interesting experiment, for sure, and led to some great performances by guest stars like David Tennant and Hayley Atwell, but didn’t generate the kind of buzz that Netflix probably hoped it would — hence only the U.K. edition coming back for a season 2. Series co-creator Jim Field Smith recently confirmed on Twitter that there are no immediate plans to bring back these other versions, though added that the team behindCriminalwould “love to do more of the others.”
ButCriminalseason 2, which promises “four new cases, four new suspects and one room that changes everything,“might be able to get that word-of-mouth going, with Kit Harington making his big return to the small screen as one of the potential criminals being interrogated by the regular cast members Katherine Kelly, Lee Ingleby, Nicholas Pinnock, Mark Stanley, Rochenda Sandall, and Shubham Saraf. He’ll be joined by fellow guest starsThe Big Bang Theory’s Kunal Nayyar,Game Night’s Sharon Horgan, andWild Rose’s Sophie Okonedo.
“Prepare for bold stories, some surprises, and a completely innovative take on the police procedural,” the teaser reads.
Harington is the big draw here, naturally, but through his eight seasons onGame of Thrones,he has yet to prove himself as the kind of dramatic, scenery-chewing actor that this kind of role requires. Though he’s not bad in the trailer, restlessly tapping his foot, and looking quite nervous in his sleek, well-tailored suit.
