A first-look image for the third and final series of Doctor Foster has been unveiled by the BBC. Making a comeback ten years on from series two, the drama sees Suranne Jones return to her role as Gemma. Jones stars alongside original cast members Bertie Carvel, who plays her husband Simon, and Tom Taylor as their son Tom.
Thusitha Jayasundera is set to reprise her role as Gemma’s friend Ros, with Anna Madeley also returning to play Lucy. The picture depicts Jones at the head of a dinner table, looking towards the camera while her guests talk over food and drinks. Several new cast members have joined the programme, including Slow Horses star Dustin Demri-Burns, who will play Gemma’s new partner Callum.
Other newcomers include The Serpent Queen star Rosalie Craig, Grantchester’s Gracie Oddie-James and Top Boy star Michael Balogun. In series two, Gemma discovered her husband was having an affair and enacted revenge, but the fallout resulted in her 15-year-old son Tom disappearing. In series three, she has met someone new and is on the brink of getting married, but events from the past re-emerge and threaten her reputation.
