Elaine Collins talks potential Criminal Season 3 plans
Although Criminal Record has not been officially renewed for a third season, executive producer Elaine Collins has revealed that the creative team has already begun considering where the story could go next. Collins confirmed that ideas for a third season are in place and suggested that future episodes would take the series in a different direction.
Speaking about the possibility of another season, Collins made it clear that any renewal decision ultimately rests with Apple. However, she explained to TV Insider, “It is just up to Apple. It’s not up to me. But we definitely have stories in mind for it. We certainly have something in mind for a third season should they want to make another one.”
Collins indicated that one of the biggest changes in a potential third season would involve June Lenker and Daniel Hegarty’s relationship. She added, “I think Hegarty is Hegarty and June is June. So they’re never going to be best friends, but by the same token, you just can’t have them sort of repeating the same, ‘Oh, I don’t trust him,’ all this sort of stuff. I think it will move on for sure.”
The executive producer pointed to Hegarty’s private life as an area she would like to explore further. She would also like to “see what June is like post-Leo.” Beyond character development, Collins hinted that the structure of June and Hegarty’s partnership could also change.
“Yeah, they can’t be forever bumping into each other or accidentally ending up on the same thing. I think they would move forward together more, but we’d be throwing some tacks onto the road,” she said.
Apple TV+ has not yet renewed the series.
