The next instalment of the hit BBC One programme will put Grainger's character, Rachel Carey, 'at the heart of the conspiracy', according to series creator Ben Chanan.
Rachel has become the acting head of the Counter Terrorism Command (SO15), amid an inquiry into the unlawful use of Correction – the UK intelligence service's clandestine video manipulation programme which she exposed in series two.
She is determined to regain the public's trust in surveillance technology when a well co-ordinated act of terror that affects the British establishment leaves behind just one witness.
The more Carey investigates, the deeper she is drawn into an unfolding geopolitical crisis that infects the British political establishment, the security services, and the media.
Grainger, 37, said: 'I'm thrilled to be joining The Capture team once more for series three.
'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!)'
Black Doves star Andrew will star alongside Game Of Thrones actor Joe Dempsie, Kaos actor Killian Scott, Gangs Of London actress Amanda Drew, and Highlander's Hugh Quarshie.
Returning cast members include Indira Varma as BBC Newsnight presenter Khadija Khan, Ben Miles as Danny Hart, and Nigel Lindsay as DSI Tom Kendricks.
Chanan said: 'Previous seasons have seen Holliday's Rachel Carey investigate others as their lives fall apart. Most of all, I am excited that Series 3 puts Carey at the heart of the conspiracy.'
Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama, said: 'The Capture's irresistible blend of timely, state-of-the-nation commentary with edge-of-your-seat thrills has made it a big hit with millions of viewers, and we're so pleased to announce its return to the BBC.
'Ben's scripts for series three will dazzle and terrify you in equal measure.'
The first series followed a former British soldier trying to clear his name of a crime he claimed he did not commit.
While investigating the case, DI Carey uncovered a wider complex conspiracy.
In series two Grainger's character broadcast a live deepfake of a government minister to the nation, exposing the UK intelligence service's clandestine video manipulation programme Correction.
The Capture is produced by Heyday Television for BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
Filming is taking place in the south east of England.
