Suranne Jones is reportedly set to return as Gemma Foster in a third series of the BBC's psychological thriller Doctor Foster, eight years after the last season aired. According to a report in The Sun, filming is scheduled to begin next year, with a potential release at the end of 2026 or early 2027.
The BBC declined to comment when approached by RadioTimes.com. The series, created by Mike Bartlett, originally premiered in 2015 and followed Dr Gemma Foster as she uncovered her husband Simon's infidelity. Season two aired in 2017 and left the story on an open-ended note.
Bartlett previously hinted at more to explore with Gemma, telling RadioTimes.com in 2019: 'There's something going on with Gemma Foster... there's more capacity to that character than I know.' He added that he would only return to write a third season if there was a story as 'important and vital' as the first two.
Jones, who has since starred in Vigil and Film Club, had previously cited her busy schedule as a potential obstacle. The first two seasons of Doctor Foster are available on BBC iPlayer.
