Malpractice season 2 is just a few weeks away.
Malpractice, the ITV medical thriller from the team behind Line of Duty, has confirmed the premiere date for season 2.
The show will be back on Sunday 4 May at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with the next two episodes following over the next two days.
The first season followed Dr Lucinda Edwards (Niamh Algar), but for the new episodes viewers will watch the story of new protagonist Dr James Ford (Tom Hughes).
James is an on-call psychiatric registrar with a “messy” personal life who is seen as “arrogant” by his peers, but is committed to doing the best for his patients.
However, things go horribly wrong over the course of the one night, seemingly due to James’ poor choices.
