Five people are set for some serious interrogation in the new Apple TV+ series Suspicion, which is out now.
The new drama thriller sees three men and two women identified as suspects in a kidnapping case by London police, in the case of a missing American business heir. The series is based on an Israeli TV series called False Flag.
The first two episodes of Suspicion are available to watch on Apple TV+ now, with new episodes dropping every Friday.
To prepare you for the new season of drama, here's a rundown of the major characters you'll see in Suspicion.
Uma Thurman — Katherine Newman
Academy Award nominee Uma Thurman plays a formidable role in Suspicion as successful businesswoman Katherine Newman. She's horrified to learn that her 21-year-old son Leo has been kidnapped by a group of masked criminals in a New York hotel.
Significantly, each of the kidnappers were wearing masks looking like the British royal family, just as Katherine is due to be named the next U.S. ambassador to the U.K.
Kunal Nayyar — Aadesh Chopra
Shaking off his role as Raj in The Big Bang Theory, Kunal Nayyar plays one of the identified suspects Aadesh Chopra in Suspicion. The suspects are selected because they were staying in the New York hotel on the night of the kidnapping.
Viewers will be impressed to hear Nayyar speak in a seamless British accent throughout the series.
Elizabeth Henstridge — Tara McAllister
Elizabeth Henstridge will be recognizable to viewers of the Marvel TV show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as she starred as the scientist Jemma Simmons for seven years. Suspicion marks her first role since that show finished.
Henstridge's character Tara McAllister plays one of the unknowing suspects in the kidnapping case. While the suspects initially seem innocent, it eventually becomes apparent that one of the suspects knows more than they're letting on.
Georgina Campbell — Natalie Thompson
English actress Georgina Campbell will be recognizable to British audiences as the star of drama like Murdered by My Boyfriend and Broadchurch. She won a BAFTA TV Award for her role in the former. She also appeared in the Black Mirror episode "Hang the DJ."
