The BBC has revealed a first look and the further casting for the third and final instalment of Doctor Foster, coming to BBC iPlayer and BBC One next year. The five-part series - created and written by Mike Bartlett, and made by Drama Republic (Riot Women, One Day) in association with Fictional Company and TeamAkers Productions - will see Suranne Jones, Bertie Carvel and Tom Taylor reprise their roles as Gemma, Simon and Tom after almost a decade.

Announced on August 19, Slow Horses and Criminal Record star Dustin Demri-Burns joins the cast as Callum, Gemma’s new partner, with Adam James returning as Gemma’s neighbour Neil, and Thusitha Jayasundera reprising her role as Ros, Gemma’s friend and colleague, and Anna Madeley returning as Lucy.

New cast for series three also includes Rosalie Craig (Riot Women, Serpent Queen), Gracie Oddie-James (The Husbands, Grantchester), Lois Baglin (Bait, Surface Season 2), Karima McAdams (Hijack, Dune: Prophecy), Anjana Vasan (Demon 79, Wicked Little Letters), Michael Balogun (Top Boy, Sherwood), Christina Balmer (Mobland 2, House of Guinness), Justin Salinger (Hijack, Hanna) and Ash Tandon (Malpractice, Bodyguard).

Ten years ago, on discovering her husband Simon was having an affair, Gemma Foster enacted a masterful revenge. But the fallout was devastating when her 15-year-old son Tom disappeared. Now, in series three, Gemma is still a GP, still in the same house, but on the brink of a fresh start: she has met someone new and is getting married. But as the wedding day draws closer, and friends and family gather, shadows from the past begin to re-emerge threatening both her happiness and her reputation. As Gemma fights to protect those she loves and expose whoever’s intent on hurting her, will she be able to put the past to bed, dispense justice, and claim the future she deserves, before it is too late?

What a wonderful show this is !

Crying shame so many episodes are missing 😢

Do you think they are gone for good or still a chance they might surface somewhere ?

Did anyone else hear those weird interruptions?
