Suranne Jones ‘will return to star in a third series of Doctor Foster’ after drama’s eight year absence

by

Suranne Jones is reportedly returning to her iconic role as Doctor Foster for a third series.

The 47-year-old actress starred as Dr. Gemma in the show’s first two seasons, playing a woman who investigates her husband’s possible infidelity.

The show hasn’t been on TV since 2017, but when it comes back, the story will center around the character Tom. He was a teenager when we last saw him, and now he’s returning home as an adult.

Bertie Carvel played her husband, Simon, and Jodie Comer played Kate Parks, her romantic rival, but it’s currently unclear if they will reprise their roles.

According to a source, the story of Doctor Foster always felt like it could continue indefinitely, as there were unresolved plotlines and a sense that things weren’t fully concluded.

The show ended on a very successful note, regularly attracting about eight million viewers each week who were captivated by the relationships and conflicts between the three main characters.

Enough time had passed since the show was last on, but interest from fans hadn’t waned.

It is due to start filming next year, the publication goes on to report.

The BBC has been contacted by The Daily Mail for comment.

The previous series ended with Tom leaving the family after the drama became too much.  

News about Suranne’s work surfaces shortly after she publicly stated her belief that women should embrace aging naturally and won’t use Botox, even though she does explore other ways to refresh her skin.

The actress recently played the lead role of Prime Minister Abigail Dalton in the Netflix drama ‘Hostage’, appearing with Julie Delphy and Ashley Walters of ‘Adolescence’.

This role is just the newest in a string of prominent television appearances for Jones, who first gained recognition over twenty years ago as the spirited Karen McDonald on Coronation Street.

She stated she would never get Botox to advance her career, though she has thought about other cosmetic treatments, including Morpheus8, which can reduce the appearance of pores and acne scars.

In a conversation on the ‘We’re Not Getting Any Younger’ podcast with Andy Goldstein and Lisa Snowdon, she revealed she’s too scared to try Botox, believing she’d be the one to experience negative side effects.

I’d consider Morpheus8, but I’ve already tried Profhilo, and that’s probably all the treatments I’ll get. Profhilo is nice – it’s like giving your skin a boost of hydration.

I’m going to try my hand at a few things, but I’m a little nervous about it. I also think there will be plenty of opportunities as I get older, and I’m perfectly happy to take on grandmotherly roles when the time comes.

Jones has mentioned that using the LYMA Laser daily helps keep her skin glowing and healthy, especially when she’s working long hours on set or traveling internationally.

She shared that she’s been using her LYMA Laser for several years and finds it incredibly helpful, especially when she’s filming on location.

I use these products daily, and my makeup artist has seen a real improvement in my skin. I’m also taking the supplements, which are really helping me manage the symptoms of perimenopause. I highly recommend both – they get a 10/10 from me!

Jones had often stated that an actor’s talent should be the most important thing considered, not how they look.

She explained to the Radio Times that true character comes from inner qualities, not from trying to change your appearance or external traits.

The actress also praised Netflix for giving women leading roles in her new drama, not just on screen, but also among the creative team.

She explained that women were the most qualified candidates for the project, and Netflix recognized that. She emphasized that without opportunities for women writers, directors, and camera operators, it’s impossible for new generations of women to succeed in the industry.

The actress, who is married to Laurence Akers and has a son, has talked before about how challenging it is to juggle her work and family life.

She compared her own life to her character, DCI Amy Silva, from the 2021 drama Silva, explaining that they both share a strong desire to prove themselves and feel a sense of responsibility towards others, especially when working on set with a large crew.

I’m a parent, and I often discuss this part of my life with Amy. Like many people, I’m always working to find a good balance between my personal life and my job, and that’s something I also share with her.

I’ve personally dealt with anxiety, just like Amy, so I immediately connected with the character. It’s a great feeling when you’re reading a script and think, ‘This is the role for me,’ because you truly understand what the character is going through.

I was so happy to hear Jones say she’s thrilled about all the strong female leads we’re seeing on TV lately, especially in shows like Vigil. It’s fantastic that women are finally getting those powerful, central roles – it’s something I’ve been wanting to see for ages!

She believes the key to their success is maintaining momentum and never slowing down. She also noted that a lot has changed since she began working in the field 25 years ago.

It’s great that there are so many talented people who can bring our stories to life, and television is constantly evolving. The most important thing is to keep searching for compelling stories and encouraging the right people to tell them.
