The second series of Doctor Foster is lining up to begin principal photography in early autumn, with Suranne Jones returning as the multi-faceted GP.

Jones went on to win the Leading Actress gong at this year”s TV BAFTA Awards for her performance, and the series became the highest-rated of any new UK television drama of 2015 with an average weekly audience of more than eight million.

The executive producers on Series 2 are Drama Republic”s Greg Brenman, Roanna Benn and Jude Liknaitsky along with Matthew Read for the BBC and the writer Mike Bartlett.
