Malpractice returns to ITV next month

ITV has confirmed that Malpractice series two premieres this May…

ITV has unveiled the first trailer for the second outing of Malpractice, the medical drama from World Productions, the series created and written by former NHS Doctor Grace Ofori-Attah.

Helen Behan and Jordan Kouamé return as the Medical Investigation Unit (MIU) are once again called in to investigate a doctor under fire. Starring Tom Hughes as Dr James Ford, alongside Selin Hizli, Zoë Telford, Rick Warden, and Ace Bhatti, Malpractice Series 2 premieres May 2025 on ITV and ITVX.

Tom Hughes as Dr. James Ford

When on-call Psychiatric Registrar Dr James Ford (Tom Hughes) is caught between an anxious new mother’s postnatal check-up and the sectioning of a psychotic patient, no one could predict the devastating outcome.

Dr Norma Callahan (Helen Behan) and Dr George Adjei (Jordan Kouamé) of the Medical Investigation Unit are called in to investigate. His personal life is messy, and his colleagues may find him arrogant, but Dr Ford appears committed to his vulnerable patients. As the team dig further into the events of that night, what appears to be a series of poor choices by one doctor spreads beyond the psychiatric unit to a hospital seemingly at war with itself.

Zoe Telford as Dr. Kate McAllister

With the MIU investigation closing in, can Dr Ford save his already fragile career from a string of apparently damning mistakes? Is Dr Ford a doctor with a God complex, or a victim of the institution? And can the MIU uncover the truth of what happened, despite hostility from all sides?

Malpractice returns to ITV1, STV, STV Player and ITVX this May
