Criminal Record season 2 in the works, says actor Cush Jumbo

While fans may have expected Jumbo to be elusive in her response, she replied (as per Deadline): "There will be yeah."

While Apple has not officially confirmed if the show has been greenlit for a season 2, Jumbo has certainly given viewers hope they could see her and co-star Peter Capaldi back in action.

The actress portrays Detective Sgt June Lenker in the crime drama, alongside Capaldi as Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty, as they clash over an old murder case.

When previously asked about a potential second instalment of the crime thriller, Capaldi told The Hollywood Reporter: "Who knows? We're just excited that we've done it and it's out there, it's been a real journey getting it to the screen. Working with Apple has been great but it's a whole new world.

"When I was working with BBC or ITV, a show might get sold to Australia or Hong Kong or whatever. Now Apple just presses a button and 130 counties all over the world get the show. Instantly.

"It's a whole different ballgame for me. But I'm delighted, at my age, to still be part of it."

For what a second season could entail, it isn't really clear. The finale episode did wrap up all loose ends and when asked by TV Insider about it, executive producer Elaine Collins said: "We just haven't really had those conversations.

"We just want everybody to love this season."
