8 x 60'
Every three seconds in the UK, a 999 call is made – but behind each call lies a story that isn’t always as it first appears.
999: What Happened Next follows police investigations beyond the emergency call, revealing how detectives uncover the truth, identify those responsible, and secure justice for victims and their families.
Across eight gripping episodes, what appear as straightforward incidents develop into complex cases involving fatal violence, stalking, arson, random attacks, armed robbery, carjacking, and devastating collisions. From a homeowner claiming self-defence and a city terrorised by a violent spree to a masked gang targeting a vulnerable pensioner and a deadly hit-and-run, nothing is as it first appears.
Combining police footage, CCTV, forensic evidence, and powerful testimony, the series captures the meticulous work required to transform fragmented clues into compelling cases. As investigators race against time, pursue suspects across counties, and navigate conflicting accounts, each story reveals the determination, ingenuity and resilience needed to expose the truth, bring dangerous offenders to justice, and provide long-awaited answers for those left behind.
