"I'm thrilled to be joining The Capture team once more for season 3," Grainger said. "Ben Chanan's scripts are as electrifying as ever and I'm excited to be stepping back into 'Commander' Rachel Carey's world (Spoiler alert!)."
Scott, who is said to be playing a "pivotal" new role, added: "I think Ben has created something really special with The Capture, a modern espionage thriller that feels both authentic and immensely captivating. I feel incredibly lucky to be joining the team for season 3."
Filming for the six-episode third season of The Capture is currently taking place in the south of England, and is expected to air on BBC One as well as stream on iPlayer. at at Pandora at at at at at Apple at at at
