NEW YORK April 22 (UPI) -- The Good Fight and Vera alum Cush Jumbo says her Criminal Record police detective June Lenker is stronger and wiser in Season 2 of the Apple TV drama, which kicks off Tuesday.
"She's more ballsy, more resilient. She's risen up the ranks a little bit," Jumbo, 40, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
Set in contemporary London, the series follows rivals Lenker and Daniel Hegarty (Doctor Who icon Peter Capaldi) as they are forced to work together again on a new homicide case after acrimoniously parting ways at the end of Season 1.
"As far as she was concerned, she was never going to see him again. If there was a Christmas party, she was not going to it. I think that by virtue of the shocking murder that happens to young Rohaan in the first episode, she's in a place in her mind where any opportunity to solve that murder, she will take," the actress said.
"She doesn't realize that's going to come in the form of Hegarty and, even though she knows she can't trust him and she thinks she knows this beast quite well now, the opportunity to do something good, will always outweigh, for June, having to work with anybody, especially him."
