ITV medical drama Malpractice<\/a> will return for season 2, the broadcaster has confirmed.<\/p>\n

The first run aired earlier this year and starred Deceit\u2019s Niamh Algar as Dr Lucinda Edwards, who finds herself at the centre of an investigation following the death of one of her patients during an A&E shift.<\/p>\n

Produced by World Productions, the company behind Jed Mercurio\u2019s Line of Duty, the new season won\u2019t feature Algar, focusing on another case instead.<\/p>\n

ITV has confirmed Helen Behan and Jordan Kouam\u00e9 will return however, with the pair reprising their roles as Dr Norma Callahan and Dr George Adjei, who led the enquiry into Lucinda\u2019s actions last season.<\/p>\n

Former NHS doctor Grace Ofori-Attah will also return. Ofori-Attah penned the first season drawing on her own experiences as a junior doctor, and will write the new episodes.<\/p>\n

She said in a statement: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be bringing another series of Malpractice to TV screens alongside Polly and the fantastic team at World.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to delve into a new and exciting area of medicine, exploring the complex bonds and divisions within hospital teams that push our characters to their limits.\u201d<\/p>\n
