What happens

Doctor Foster is a British psychological thriller television series inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Medea which debuted on BBC One on 9 September 2015. Created and written by Mike Bartlett, it stars Suranne Jones as Gemma Foster, a doctor who suspects her husband Simon (Bertie Carvel) is having an affair. The second series started on 5 September 2017 and concluded on 3 October 2017. Both series were critical and ratings successes, and the programme was remade in multiple countries. A spin-off, Life, featuring the character of Anna Baker, aired in 2020. A potential third series remained uncertain for years: Jones initially citied incompatibility of schedules. Bartlett said while there is more to explore with Gemma Foster's story, he would bring the show back only if there were a vital story to be told. On 25 February 2026, it was finally confirmed that the show would be returning for a third and final series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
