The BBC has revealed a first look for the final season of Doctor Foster, coming to BBC iPlayer and BBC One next year (yes, that blurry man on the top left is supposed to be Bertie🤭)

Just of course HE, of all people, can barely be seen on this still. Life as a Carvelier is HARD.

-----------

Ten years ago, on discovering her husband Simon was having an affair, Gemma Foster enacted a masterful revenge. But the fallout was devastating when her 15-year-old son Tom disappeared. Now, in series three, Gemma is still a GP, still in the same house, but on the brink of a fresh start: she has met someone new and is getting married. But as the wedding day draws closer, and friends and family gather, shadows from the past begin to re-emerge threatening both her happiness and her reputation. As Gemma fights to protect those she loves and expose whoever’s intent on hurting her, will she be able to put the past to bed, dispense justice, and claim the future she deserves, before it is too late?

Doctor Foster had the UK gripped when it aired in 2015 and 2017, with nearly 10 million people watching the finale of series two. It also achieved critical acclaim and National Television Awards for both series, with Suranne Jones winning a BAFTA for her role as Gemma Foster.

The five-part series - created and written by Mike Bartlett, and made by Drama Republic (Riot Women, One Day) in association with Fictional Company and TeamAkers Productions - will see Suranne Jones, Bertie Carvel and Tom Taylor reprise their roles as Gemma, Simon and Tom after almost a decade.

Announced on August 19, Slow Horses and Criminal Record star Dustin Demri-Burns joins the cast as Callum, Gemma’s new partner, with Adam James returning as Gemma’s neighbour Neil, and Thusitha Jayasundera reprising her role as Ros, Gemma’s friend and colleague, and Anna Madeley returning as Lucy.

Balerion would be so proud of Granny V giving Harrenhal another roasting.

This is what Aemond and Vaghar were meant to do all season 😭

Here's a snippet of Bertie reading 'The Odyssey' in a cab — one of the Almeida Theatre's 2015 Greeks Festival highlights.

More presence and personality in two minutes than most characters in 3 seasons.

S3E1. So much promise for the new season...

All praise to Bertie for magnificently portraying the Noble Dragon: ASOIAF’s paragon of honour, virtue and selflessness.

And looking absolutely gorgeous while doing so. Thanks boss.
