Leading the cast of season 2 will be Tom Hughes (Victoria<\/a>), who will star as Dr James Ford, a psychiatric registrar in a North Yorkshire hospital who is at the centre of a new investigation.<\/p>\n Helen Behan (The Virtues<\/a>) and Jordan Kouam\u00e9 (Scoop<\/a>) will be reprising their roles as Dr Norma Callahan and Dr George Adjei of the Medical Investigation Unit (MIU), who are once again tasked with getting to the bottom of the case at hand.<\/p>\n But the Malpractice season 2 cast is also full of familiar faces to the world of TV, with the likes of Selin Hizli (Am I Being Unreasonable?<\/a>), Zo\u00eb Telford (The Lazarus Project<\/a>), Hannah McClean (Blue Lights<\/a>), Seraphina Beh (Top Boy<\/a>) and Ace Bhatti (Line of Duty<\/a>) all set to star.<\/p>\n While we don\u2019t yet have any details over their characters and where they slot into the drama, if season 1 was anything to go by, we can anticipate plenty of twists and chilling turns as the drama from this hospital begins to unfold.<\/p>\n Filming on season 2 kicks off in Belfast today and, according to the official series synopsis, we will follow Dr Ford, whose \u201cpersonal life is a mess, and his colleagues might find him arrogant, but he appears committed to his vulnerable patients\u201d.<\/p>\n It continues: \u201cSo when he finds himself torn between a new mother attending a routine postnatal check-up and the sectioning of a floridly psychotic woman during a busy on-call shift, no one could predict the terrible consequences.<\/p>\n \u201cAs George and Norma uncover a hospital seemingly at war with itself, to what lengths will James go to preserve his position? Is he a doctor with a God complex or the victim of wider problems?\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The first season of the thriller certainly paved the way for the second season, following the case of Niamh Algar\u2019s Dr Lucinda Edwards, who was at the centre of an MIU investigation after the death of one of her patients.<\/p>\n Season 2 is written and created by Grace Ofori-Attah (Grace Under Pressure, In The Long Run) who will also serve as executive producer alongside Simon Heath, known for his work on shows including Line of Duty, The Pembrokeshire Murders and The Gathering.<\/p>\n Also serving as executive producers for Malpractice season 2 are\u00a0Roderick Seligman and Emma Luffingham (Showtrial, Karen Pirie) for World Productions.<\/p> The first season achieved some pretty impressive stats, going on to become the most-watched launch episode of a new drama on ITV1 in 2023 with 6.7 million viewers based on a 28-day viewing.<\/p>\n CEO of World Productions, Simon Heath, commented: \u201cGrace has delved even deeper into her personal history as a Consultant Psychiatrist to deliver both a brilliant thriller and timely look at a critical area of the NHS. Her great writing has once again attracted a stellar cast to join Helen and Jordan to tell this new story.\u201d<\/p>\n Executive Producer and writer, Grace Ofori-Attah, commented: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be bringing back a second series of Malpractice. This time, I\u2019m excited to be delving into the world of Psychiatry, my medical specialty, with an incredible cast led by Tom Hughes, and fantastic crew led by Anthony Philipson. I can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n Malpractice season 2 will air on ITV1 in the future and season 1 is available to stream now on ITVX.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a> to find out what\u2019s on. <\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to <\/strong>The Radio Times Podcast<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n The new season will centre on a psychiatric registrar in a North Yorkshire hospital. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":54526,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/line-of-duty-victoria-and-sherlock-stars-join-malpractice-season-2-cast.jpg",2048,1366,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/line-of-duty-victoria-and-sherlock-stars-join-malpractice-season-2-cast-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/line-of-duty-victoria-and-sherlock-stars-join-malpractice-season-2-cast-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/line-of-duty-victoria-and-sherlock-stars-join-malpractice-season-2-cast-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/line-of-duty-victoria-and-sherlock-stars-join-malpractice-season-2-cast-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/line-of-duty-victoria-and-sherlock-stars-join-malpractice-season-2-cast-1536x1025.jpg",1536,1025,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/line-of-duty-victoria-and-sherlock-stars-join-malpractice-season-2-cast.jpg",2048,1366,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The new season will centre on a psychiatric registrar in a North Yorkshire hospital.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/54524"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"The](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Malpractice-ITV-s2-cast-6e04c83.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C453\" "\\"Malpractice-ITV-s2-cast\\"\/")
