While recent disruption to international travel has scuppered many holiday plans, it has also thrown a spanner in the works for productions seeking to film abroad.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a relief for fans then, that The Good Karma Hospital has confirmed the cast and crew will be returning to Sri Lanka to film a fourth season of the much-loved ITV drama, and shooting is now underway.<\/p>\n
Amanda Redman and Neil Morrissey have confirmed they will be returning for the upcoming series, but what else can we expect from the new episodes?<\/p>\n
Keep reading for everything we know so far.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re wondering exactly when we\u2019ll see the next series on our screens, the good news is that you\u2019ll definitely have new episodes to enjoy next year. ITV has confirmed that the sun-soaked drama will return in 2022<\/strong>, but we don\u2019t have any specific details about exactly when. Previous series have aired in March\/April so fingers crossed for a spring release date. Keep checking back on this page, and we will update you as soon as we know more.<\/p>\n It looks like most of your favourite characters will be back for more drama, as ITV has confirmed that\u00a0Amanda Redman, Amrita Acharia, Neil Morrissey, Darshan Jariwala and Nimmi Harasgama will all return to the series.<\/p>\n Amanda Redman, who has been with the show from the very first episode playing Dr Lydia Fonseca said,\u00a0\u201cAfter such a difficult and challenging year for the whole world and film industry it is an honour to return to our beloved Sri Lanka with its wonderful film crews and actors to make this much-loved series four possible. We can\u2019t wait to get started. The storylines are bigger and better than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n There will also be some new faces this time around with Harki Bhambra (whose credits include Our Girl and Call the Midwife) joining the cast as surgeon Dr Samir Hasan. Samir is described as \u2018high-flying\u2019 and \u2018charismatic\u2019 but has left Britain \u2018for reasons that prove too traumatic to share\u2019.<\/p>\n Rebecca Ablack (Ginny & Georgia, Let It Snow) plays another new doctor, Dr Nikita \u2018Niki\u2019 Sharma, who is young, confident and dynamic. She is also newly qualified and the daughter of a highly successful surgeon.<\/p>\n Guest stars this year include Raquel Cassidy (Downton Abbey, Teachers), Ace Bhatti (Line of Duty, Baptiste, Alex Rider), Connor Catchpole (Enola Holmes, Pursuit of Love), Chetna Pandya (Feel Good, This Way Up) and Jonas Khan (Our Girl, The Ipcress File).<\/p> There\u2019s no official trailer available for season four just yet, but we\u2019ll upload it here as soon as one is released.<\/p>\n Plot details are in currently in short supply for the new episodes, but series three ended with Dr Gabriel Varma declaring his love for Ruby (yay!) and then leaving both her and the hospital (boo!). We\u2019re not sure if he\u2019s gone for good though, so we\u2019ll see what season four brings.<\/p>\n The new cast announcements (see above) suggest we\u2019ll be spending the first couple of episodes getting to know some interesting new characters, as well as catching up with old favourites.<\/p>\n If you want to remind yourself of everything that happened at the end of The Good Karma Hospital season three<\/a>, click the link.<\/p>\nThe Good Karma Hospital season 4 cast<\/h2>\n
