Introduction
Apple TV+'s Criminal Record features a talented cast that includes a handful of familiar faces due to their previous notable roles in other television shows and movies. The British crime thriller series was created by Paul Rutman, and its first season contains eight episodes, with the first two episodes released on January 10, 2024. The show will then move to weekly drops until the finale, which is scheduled to premiere on February 21. Criminal Record revolves around two detectives with completely contrasting agendas, and since their methods significantly differ, they have conflicting opinions regarding a man's innocence in a murder case.

Cush Jumbo As Detective Sergeant June Lenker Cush Jumbo, also an executive producer, portrays the other central character in Criminal Record — Detective Sergeant June Lenker. June is a relatively new detective, so she is ambitious and looking to prove herself, meaning that she immediately butts heads with DCI Hegarty. June believes Errol Mathis is innocent and pushes back when Hegarty is confident they have solved the case. Aside from the Apple TV+ crime thriller show, Jumbo has starred in the Doctor Who spinoff, Torchwood, Vera, The Good Wife, and The Good Fight. The actress is also known for her roles in the theater productions of Julius Caesar and Hamlet.
